🎙️ Lens of Leadership | S3 E11: Mom City

In this emotional and revealing episode of Lens of Leadership, Nick Coniglio and Marnie Stockman dive deep into Ted Lasso Season 3, Episode 11: Mom City — an episode full of second chances, parental reckonings, and rediscovering purpose.

🧠 What We Explore:

• The Power of Processing Pain
  Ted’s surprise visit from his mother Dottie forces both of them to confront their long-buried grief, revealing how unprocessed emotions can impact leadership, parenting, and self-care.
• Redemption and Second Chances
  Nate’s return to coaching is paved with humility, growth, and Beard’s powerful backstory. What does it mean to be judged by your weakest moment—or your strength when you’re given a second chance?
• Jamie’s Identity Crisis
  Without his father’s approval driving him, Jamie loses his spark. But with help from Roy, Keeley, and Ted (plus a meaningful visit to his mom), he learns the leadership skill no one talks about: forgiveness—for others, and for yourself.
• The Leadership Archetype of "The Caretaker"
  Ted and Dottie both show how helping others without caring for yourself can lead to burnout. Marnie and Nick explore how this archetype shows up in real-life leadership—and why it resonates so strongly with audiences.
• Keely’s Growth and Motivation Shift
  No longer driven by appearance or fame, Keely is embracing a deeper purpose. We unpack the idea that fear of success can be as limiting as fear of failure.
• The Power of Support Networks
  Jamie doesn’t heal in isolation—it takes Roy, Keeley, Ted, and even his mom to bring him back. We discuss how leaders need their own “Diamond Dogs” to thrive.

📚 Bonus Takeaways:
Insights on trauma and leadership from psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy, how moms really do have superpowers (science says so!), and why “hurt people hurt people” isn’t just a throwaway line—it’s a leadership lens.

🎙 Lead It Like Lasso – Episode 8: “We’ll Never Have Paris”

In this episode of Lead It Like Lasso, Nick and Marnie unpack a week filled with tension, vulnerability, and unexpected clarity.

Ted’s dealing with the uncomfortable reality of Michelle and Dr. Jacob heading to Paris — and he’s asking all the wrong questions before taking anyone’s advice. Meanwhile, Keeley faces a deeply personal breach of privacy and refuses to be shamed into silence. Nate is learning how to label his feelings (and his relationship), and Isaac makes a discovery about Colin that could change everything.

We dive into:
✅ The difference between control and curiosity
✅ Why asking for help is a leadership skill, not a weakness
✅ What it really means to support someone when their private life goes public
✅ And why your board of advisors matters — especially when it comes to love, leadership, and leaked videos

It’s awkward, honest, and one of the richest episodes for real-life leadership reflection.
