About the show

Whiskey. Jazz. Leadership. Three things best experienced without the pretense. On Whiskey, Jazz & Leadership , Galen Bingham, The Leadership Strategist®, sits down with accomplished executives, entrepreneurs, authors and thought leaders for the conversations about leadership that rarely happen on the stage or in the boardroom. The whiskey gets poured. The jazz sets the tone. Then the real conversation begins. Guests share what they drink, what they listen to, and what experience has taught them about power, pressure, success, failure, relationships and the decisions that define a leader. Drawing on three decades of operating experience in corporate America, entrepreneurship, and his work coaching and advising more than 1,000 senior executives, CEOs and nonprofit leaders, Galen brings a practitioner's perspective to every conversation. He knows leadership looks different when the stakes are high, the answers aren't obvious and everybody is looking at you. Because pressure narrows perspective. Perspective shapes judgment. And judgment determines action. This isn't leadership theory served neat. It's experience, perspective and hard-earned wisdom from people who've actually had to make the call. So pour something the way you like it. Put on some good music. Pull up a chair. This is Whiskey, Jazz & Leadership. What you drinking? Cheers!
