Rich shares how honest conversations, clear expectations, and steady course-correction can change someone\u2019s path at work and at home.\nThis one is for founders, managers, and high-potential professionals who feel stuck, are scaling a team, or want to lead with more clarity and less stress. You will walk away with practical leadership principles, culture signals to fix fast, and a simple way to build confidence through action, feedback, and continuous learning.\nAbout the Guest: \nRich Ashton is a longtime small-business owner who built an internal leadership development program and transitioned leadership to the team he developed. He is the author of Growing Your Own and offers training focused on developing leaders inside small businesses.\nKey Takeaways: \n\n\nStart leadership development by identifying what is holding someone back (often a self-imposed ceiling).\n\n\nCulture is shared values, not vibes; one person violating values can derail the whole team.\n\n\nAvoid the small-business leadership trap: outsiders may miss culture, insiders may lack readiness.\n\n\nBuild healthy leadership with accountability, proactivity, communication, and innovation through learning.\n\n\nConfidence grows through clear delegation, agreed expectations, and honest debriefs, not pressure.\n\n\nFear drives bad leadership decisions; expect to be wrong sometimes and course-correct quickly.\n\n\nHow to Connect With the Guest : \nWebsite: https://growingyourown.netEmail: rich@growingyourown.netLinkedIn and Instagram were mentioned (via his online presence), with primary contact through the website and email. \nWant to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
