EP #114 From Managing To Leading: Why Growth Mindset Wins
What if the most powerful leadership event of your year didn’t require a flight or a week away—just a short drive across Fredericksburg? We sit down with Integrity Solutions Group’s James Kingman to unpack why Live2Lead FXBG on February 10 is more than a calendar invite. It’s a local catalyst for real growth, grounded in the simple but demanding idea that leaders learn first, then lift others as they climb.
James draws a clear line between managing and leading: management controls process, leadership expands people. He shares how a growth mindset—humble, curious, and community-driven—turns inspiration into practice. You’ll hear why arriving with a learner’s posture matters, the kind of ideas that stick long after the auditorium empties, and how previous talks from organizer Mike McClanahan delivered tools worth using months later. We also explore why this lineup matters for our region: high-impact voices, zero travel friction, and a room full of neighbors who are serious about leveling up.
Fredericksburg shows up in this conversation as a “hidden gem” with deep capability and a thriving small business backbone. We talk about the power of proximity: handshakes that lead to partnerships, hallway conversations that spark collaboration, and real accountability that only forms when people meet face to face. Expect practical takeaways—arrive with one skill to sharpen and one relationship to start; leave with three commitments you’ll act on in 30, 60, and 90 days. If you’re tired of hype and hungry for momentum, this is your moment to learn, connect, and lead with purpose right here at home.
