Monday Motivation #1 – Before You Lead Others… Lead Yourself

Welcome to the very first Monday Motivation episode of The Building Better Humans Project Podcast.

In this new weekly series, Glenn shares the same leadership, mindset and performance principles he teaches inside organisations ranging from small family businesses to companies employing hundreds of people.

This week's episode explores a fundamental truth of leadership: before you can lead others effectively, you must first lead yourself.

You'll discover why people follow your example more than your words, how to create calm under pressure, why your emotional state influences those around you, and the importance of holding yourself to the same standards you expect from others. Whether you're leading a team, running a business, raising a family or simply striving to become a better version of yourself, these practical lessons will help you start your week with purpose and intention.

In this episode:
Why leadership always starts with you
How to create calm in the chaos
The difference between responding and reacting
Why your mood is contagious
The standard you walk past is the standard you accept

A practical, no-nonsense episode designed to help you become the kind of leader others want to follow.

Because when we build better humans, we build better businesses, better teams and better lives.

What's So Bad About Being Disliked?

Why do we spend so much of our lives worrying about what other people think? In this episode, Glenn explores why our need for approval keeps us stuck, how authenticity earns more respect than people-pleasing, and why learning to be okay with being disliked might be one of the most liberating skills you'll ever develop.

If you've ever held yourself back because you were worried about criticism, judgement, or disappointing others, this episode will challenge the way you think about acceptance—and remind you that the most important approval you'll ever receive is your own.

When the Person You Love Doesn't Understand Your Growth

Personal growth doesn't just change you—it can change your relationships too.In this episode, Glenn explores a challenge he has witnessed time and time again while working with businesses across Australia. An employee commits to becoming a better leader, communicator or person, only to face resistance from the people closest to them at home.Why does this happen? Is personal development really just about creating more productive employees, or is there something much bigger at play?

Glenn shares why the best organisations invest in developing better humans—not just better workers—and offers practical advice for both the person pursuing growth and the partner trying to understand it. If you've ever felt unsupported on your journey, or you've struggled to understand why someone close to you is changing, this conversation will help you see it from a new perspective.

In this episode:
Why personal growth can create tension at home.
The difference between becoming a better employee and becoming a better human.
Why change can feel threatening to the people closest to us.
How to communicate your growth journey without alienating your partner.
Simple ways couples can support each other's development.

Growth is rarely a solo journey. The strongest relationships don't resist change—they grow together.

Monday Motivation #3 – Trust Is Built in the Small Things

Trust is the foundation of every great relationship, every high-performing team and every successful leader.

In this week's Monday Motivation, Glenn explores why trust isn't earned in the big moments of life—it is built through the hundreds of small moments that nobody applauds. Drawing on lessons from the Australian Army, leading over 100 Kokoda Track expeditions and working with businesses across Australia, Glenn shares practical leadership insights that will help you strengthen trust in your workplace, your family and your everyday relationships. Whether you're leading a team, running a business, coaching a sporting group or simply striving to become a better person, this episode will challenge you to look at trust differently and remind you that every interaction is either making a deposit or a withdrawal from the relationships that matter most.

In this episode:
Why trust is built long before it's tested
The power of keeping your word
Why consistency creates confidence
How owning your mistakes strengthens credibility
The leadership skill of listening before leading
Stephen Covey's Emotional Bank Account and how to make more deposits than withdrawals

A practical leadership episode that will change the way you think about trust and give you simple actions to strengthen every relationship in your life.
Because trust isn't built in extraordinary moments... it's built one ordinary choice at a time.
