Episode 08: The Sketchs Ink Team Fact-Checks Brandon’s Leadership Philosophies featuring the Team (Part 2 of 3)
Welcome to this second episode in a 3-part mini-series.
I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.
In episode one of this 3-part mini-series, we spoke with Brandon Maloney, the founder and operator of Sketchs Ink Custom Paint and Hydrographics, about his leadership philosophy and how he uses it create a family team environment for his business.
In THIS episode, we are going to find out if and how he lives into his values (Include a Senge quote in here). We will do this by having a round table discussion with all of Brandon’s employees and hear directly from them how Brandon leads them, his wins, his failures and how these examples can be used for emerging leaders from all sectors.
Episode 07: Leading Small Teams featuring Brandon Maloney (Part 1 of 3)
One of the largest challenges for emerging leaders is the belief that large gestures, big shows of dominance, loud noises, whatever, that they are in charge, will be the way to gain the loyalty of their people. When in reality, this gesture often backfires because people can smell BS from a mile away.
When, in fact, you just need to be yourself. Lead with passion, honesty and dedication, and they shall follow.
In this episode, the first in a 2-part mini-series, we will be talking to Brandon Maloney, the founder of Sketchs Ink Custom Paint & Hydrographics, where he will share his views and insights to be successful when leading small teams.
Episode 06: The Successful Leader Uses Creative Tension & Repeatable Language featuring Jason Donkersgoed
In today’s episode, I’ve invited my good friend, Jason Donkersgoed to join us to talk about exploring the importance of understanding creative tension and its effect on the emerging leaders’ ability to better understand the creative process of their team. After that, we will take a different direction and speak about repeatable language and the powerful tool that it can be for emerging leaders.
Episode 05: How We Fall Into Leadership Roles featuring Gillian Tietz
Leadership principles can be taught, they can be memorized and learned. Leadership can even be mimicked and merged to create our own flavour of personal and professional leadership. But do you know what can’t be faked or learned? How to ‘just’ lead.
In this episode, we will be talking to Gillian Tietz, a fellow podcaster whose leadership in the podcast realm is quickly being noticed. We will discuss how Gillian leads, why she thinks people might gravitate to her style of leadership, and what leadership tools she has to help emerging leaders be the most successful leaders they want to be.
Episode 04: So, You’re the new boss (In title at least), Now What? featuring Leah Gregg
Congratulations! You have been promoted and given your first team to lead. Now what?
In this episode, we will talk about what happens next by having a conversation with Leah Gregg, Facility Supervisor at a large recreation complex in Sherwood Park, AB, and how she tackled being the new boss in her organization, her successes, her challenges and what we can all learn from her experiences.
Episode 03: The Relationship Between Influence and Connections featuring Simon Kardynal
Often, either as leaders or followers, we don’t see or realize the immediate impact that we are making. In the moment (you will hear and see this a lot from me), it’s very hard to recognize that what we are doing has immediate broader ramifications than the small task being performed “right now”. But, as a leader, especially at the early (junior) stages of a leadership career, we have the most direct and powerful influence on our people.
In this episode we will discuss where leadership influence began and when does it stop (Hint: It never stops) and the importance of building connections with your team. We will do this by telling a not so successful story, followed by a success story. We will use these stories to provide some tips and tricks to help you put another tool in your leadership toolbox and help you have more success stories than cringe-worthy ones.
Episode 02: You’re the New Team Lead? Guess what? You’re NOT alone! featuring Megan Boire, Simon Chiu, and Derek Stratton
Being the boss can seem daunting, especially if it’s the first few times you’ve been formally in charge. Often, your people are those that you have worked with for years on many projects, and then Bam! You are the leader. You are making the tough calls, handing out birthday cake, consoling people, disciplining the people who are still your friends, answering questions, all of it, all the time.
In this episode, we will talk with leaders about the challenges of being a new leader, how to overcome the obstacles of suddenly being your friends’ boss, and tactical leadership in general.

Trailer #4: Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front
Leadership is bloody, and arguably, the leaders who get the bloodiest are the emerging leaders. You know who I’m talking about, these are the people who tend to be the newest leaders. They have to balance direction from higher management and the needs/desires of the followers. In short, they are the leaders who are in the trenches, making decisions, and steering the boat, often with limited leadership experience as they lead from the front.
Trench Leadership is about all of us sharing our knowledge and experiences in a fresh and honest manner so that we can all learn from each other, and hopefully have some fun along the way.
Trench Leadership: A Podcast from the Front, will launch on Monday, July Twelfth with three full episodes, and I can’t wait to start learning and leading with you from the front, see you then!
I’m excited to start learning and leading with all of you!!!!
