Effective workplace mentoring isn't a 'sometimes' thing. It's a habit.

That's a leadership lesson that Kimberly Lee has learned after more than two decades of hands-on experience in human resources, and helping businesses embrace what she dubs "a coaching culture."

Kim is the founder and CEO of Lotic Systems and author of Building a Coaching Culture: The Ripple Effect. She is also the creator of RipplelQ, an AI-powered leadership coaching tool.

Many workplaces struggle to get the best from their people; however, Kim says a coaching approach can change that.

She finds that employees who feel supported and invested in are more likely to take initiative, collaborate effectively, and stay with the organization.

For entrepreneurs and business owners, Kim's message is clear: Don't just manage performance — coach it.

With the Artemis II mission underway, this week on Monday Morning Radio, we're joined by Mark L. Fox—former Chief Engineer for NASA's Space Shuttle program and a legendary instructor at Wizard Academy.

In a conversation recorded just 24 hours after the Artemis launch, Mark bridges the gap between lunar missions and terrestrial entrepreneurship. He discusses his latest venture, Resona Health, and how he's using PEMF (targeted electromagnetic pulses) to treat pain, depression, mild cognitive impairment, and dozens of other ailments — without pills or invasive procedures.

Mark taught the popular Wizard Academy course, DaVinci and the 40 Answers, on creativity and problem-solving for businesses. Among the insights he shares this week: how to think unconventionally, why simplicity often beats complexity, and how to turn setbacks — including near-catastrophic ones — into momentum.

These are down-to-earth insights that every entrepreneur and business owner can put into action.

The countdown to greater business success begins the moment you arrive at MondayMorningRadio.com.

What can a beautifully prepared dinner teach about running a successful business?

Quite a lot, according to Ellen Wright, a five-time cookbook author who trained with culinary icons Julia Child and James Beard.

In this week's episode, Ellen shares how the principles that guide her cooking translate seamlessly into leadership, entrepreneurship, and everyday decision-making.

Her approach is refreshingly practical: keep things simple, prepare in advance, and don't panic when something goes wrong. A collapsed dessert can become a new creation. A business misstep can spark innovation. The key is adaptability.

Ellen also highlights something many leaders overlook — success is less about perfection and more about people. Whether hosting a dinner party or managing a team, the goal is to create an environment where others feel comfortable, engaged, and valued.

From disciplined preparation to creative problem-solving, Ellen's insights offer a recipe for success that any business owner can follow.

If you're hungry for fresh ideas — and practical strategies you can apply immediately — this episode is a feast.

Bon appétit.
