Lisa Nichols on Courage, Faith, and Leading with Something Extra

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Courageous Crossroads, Jeff sits down with CEO, entrepreneur, and faith-driven leader Lisa Nichols to explore what courage looks like in real life, from building Technology Partners with her husband Greg to raising a family, leading with conviction, an learning leadership lessons from her daughter Allie, who was born with Down syndrome and lives with what Lisa calls “something extra.” Lisa shares her definition of courage as taking steps in spite of fear, tells stories ranging from singing the national anthem at a St. Louis Cardinals game to navigating moments where standing openly in her faith carried professional risk, and ultimately names the most courageous thing she’s ever done: leading with faith and love, especially in the workplace. Lisa Nichols is the co-founder and CEO of Technology Partners (an IT staffing, solutions, and leadership development firm), a longtime community and nonprofit advocate, and the host of the Something Extra podcast (launched in 2018), where she closes eachinterview by asking leaders what “something extra” they believe every leader needs; she’s also the author of the book Something Extra, which distills lessons from hundreds of podcas conversations into practical leadership traits, includes reflection questions, and features memorable Allie stories throughout—listeners can find Something Extra wherever they get podcasts and can find the book Something Extra through major retailers, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.Thank you for listening!
