    4 Ways to Lead with Hospitality and Transform Your Team
    Sep 18 2025
    Leading with Hospitality is Not Going to Be Easy... But it will be Effective What does it truly mean to lead with heart? This week on A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we welcome Taylor Scott, author of Lead with Hospitality: Be Human. Emotionally Connect. Serve Selflessly. In a world where leadership often gets reduced to strategy, numbers, and bottom lines, Taylor brings us back to the core truth: people want to feel valued, cared for, and connected. Get ready for an eye-opening conversation that challenges the way you see leadership in both life and business. Leadership isn’t just about giving orders—it’s about creating emotional connections that inspire others to give their best. Taylor has spent his career developing a framework where hospitality becomes more than customer service—it becomes a leadership philosophy. Together, we’ll explore how empathy, authenticity, and service can transform not just teams and organizations, but entire cultures. If you’ve ever wondered why some leaders inspire loyalty while others struggle to keep people engaged, this is your chance to find out. In this episode, you’ll discover practical strategies for leading with kindness without sacrificing results. From building trust to serving selflessly, Taylor reveals why putting people first always leads to stronger performance. Expect stories, insights, and actionable takeaways that will make you rethink how you lead at work, at home, and in your community. Leadership doesn’t have to be complicated—it just has to be human. It must be contained within hospitality. So join us as we uncover how to Lead with Hospitality. And if you can’t make it live, don’t worry—the podcast will be available on all major platforms. Whether you’re a business owner, a team leader, or simply someone who wants to positively influence the people around you, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss. Taylor Scott's book, "Lead with Hospitality: Be Human. Emotionally Connect. Serve Selflessly" is a powerhouse of a book that digs deep into an area that most leadership books will delve into, and that is leading with hospitality. Whatever business you think you are in, the fact is we are all in the hospitality business. If you are like me you may be thinking, well I have to deal with customers so, maybe my business is in the hospitality business. But what you may not be thinking is that hospitality starts with your people. Are your people being treated with hospitality? Taylor sees for areas and they are in order in order to lead with hospitality, Connect, Serve, Engage, and Inspire. Let's think about this for a minute. How can we truly have the most productive employees and people if we do not see the importance of connection. And if we are connected to them in a welcoming way, are we serving them? And if we are truly going to serve them then we need to engage with them more regularly. And that means we as leaders have a responsibility to inspire them. This book will make you think and rethink your leadership. Not only is it filled with great research, but it also has a work book after each section so that you can put your new leadership skills to work. Truly an inspiring new way to look at leadership.

  • 3 Ways Empathy Drives Profit, Productivity & Innovation

    3 Ways Empathy Drives Profit, Productivity & Innovation
    Sep 10 2025
    Can Empathy Drive Productivity and Profit? Yes! What if the greatest leadership superpower wasn’t authority or strategy—but empathy? On the this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, my guest Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller unpacks her book The Empathic Leader and explains how empathy, when connected to Emotional Intelligence (EQ), is transforming leadership in ways that boost profit, productivity, and innovation. Too often, leaders feel pressured to prioritize numbers and outcomes over people. But Dr. Robinson-Winemiller makes the case that empathy isn’t a “soft skill” at all—it’s a strategic advantage rooted in EQ. We’ll dive into how empathic leadership helps uncover hidden strengths, fosters trust, and fuels creativity in teams. If you’ve ever wondered why some leaders inspire while others burn people out, the missing ingredient may be empathy. This conversation isn’t about being “nice” or “agreeable.” It’s about results. Companies that embed empathy into their leadership culture—anchored in Emotional Intelligence—consistently outperform their competitors. Dr. Robinson-Winemiller will share why empathy is the leader’s most underutilized tool, and how developing this EQ muscle can transform organizations from the inside out. Join Dr. Melissa and me for a powerful discussion that will challenge everything you thought you knew about leadership. Whether you’re leading a company, a team, or even your own personal growth, The Empathic Leader will open your eyes to why empathy changes everything. Watch live, interact in real time, or catch the replay on the A New Direction podcast—because the future of leadership starts with empathy. Dr. Melissa Robison-Winemiller's book, "The Empathic Leader: How EQ via Empathy Transforms Leadership for Better Profit, Productivity, and Innovation" is a read for anyone who is in leadership, wants to be in leadership, or just needs to connect with greater ability with another person. This book is not as Dr. Melissa says, "woo-woo". This is a book filled with research that makes a clear case that leading with empathy may be the one emotional intelligence factor that may be missing from your business moving upward to the next level. The fact is we probably have some idea of what empathy is, but more than likely we don't know what empathy is not. She makes this very clear. Then she shows us the most important factor and that is empathy is a skill that must be practiced on a daily basis and how we truly put it into action. And that is the key. It's not a feel good thing, it is an action that we all can take. I found the book to be incredibly inspiring, and really challenged my mindset on what I thought I knew about empathy. This book is now a took in my tool box of emotional intelligence of how I can use it and distinguish between simply building rapport and actually connecting with other on a level that changes the outcomes.
