Rob McKenna and Tom Nelson, from Made to Flourish dive into learning to know what we see vs. seeing what we know. This podcast connects the heart of the people running the systems to the operational realities, and carves a pathway into how to flourish and build trust in your communities, teams, and organizations.
What we have experienced over and over again is that people are used to trainers, teachers, and executives talking “at them.” This WiLD Conversation encourages leaders into a clash of the norm where individuals, teams, and organizations are invited into the conversations that create learning cultures. When learning takes place in relational, intentional, and communal dialogues, outcomes begin to change.

Who Will Lead Next? Succession Planning Done Right.
 
Trust is playing a huge role in the processes that leaders know they have to dial in on a daily basis. Most organizations get to a level of scale and they not only have to prepare their next President, they need to prepare their entire bench. Succession is happening all across the business we work with and we have found that as people are understanding certain things about themselves, and sharing with their teams, they are starting to trust each other. Then they begin to answer the questions that come up like, “Who are the leaders who have come up because of this person? And, is this person a developer of leader capacity?” 
Join Dr. Rob McKenna in this WiLD Conversation Podcast as he gets deep and vulnerable into the story of succession planning done right with Steve Woodworth and Bryan Brown of Masterworks.
Steve Woodworth - Steve brings a deep wealth of expertise in marketing, management, and organizational development - and leadership. He was instrumental in pivoting World Vision’s direct marketing and donor services through a decade of annual double-digit growth - and if any of you are donors to World Vision - you have seen the power of their donor services. Since joining Masterworks in 1992, Steve has been instrumental in establishing it as the premier marketing agency dedicated to aiding hundreds of organizations in achieving their mission. Steve also gives back in so many other ways. His influence is profound.
 
Bryan Brown - Bryan serves as president of Masterworks. He is committed to accelerating the growth of his organization, bringing industry-leading technology across the business, and expanding The Masterworks vision for direct response marketing and fundraising. Bryan previously served at Masterworks as the ’ VP of Experience Design and as COO. Bryan has been Chief Marketing Officer, a chief Technology officer - so he’s got an incredible breadth of experience alongside the depth. Prior to joining Masterworks, Bryan led the digital division and ad network of one of the world’s largest cross screen media companies (that means connecting all the screens in your house - and someone had to do that for us - apparently Bryan helped with that). And, he’s got a Master of Divinity - so he’s a business person with the heart of a pastor. Most importantly - these two have been through a succession process together as Bryan is and was Steve’s successor at Masterworks.
