Finding Your Forte Show with Reggie Hammond

A New Season of Conversations Airing Now!

MAN, have we missed YALL! Hello world! The Finding Your Forte Podcast has been on quite the hiatus. The good news is we’ve been super busy getting leaders and organizations on purpose in their business and careers. But the problem is – we’ve been keeping it a secret! Not on purpose…we’ve just been to busy LIVING the stories to make time to TELL the stories! Well that little teething pain of growth stops TODAY! And we plan to make up for lost time with a series of powerful conversations. We believe that hearing the ebbs and flows, the hills and valleys, the triumphs and challenges are just what others need to give them permission and courage to take on their own journeys – and that includes you, So stay tuned! We’re coming back to you real soon – and I’ve got some pretty amazing friends to bring along. So let’s get ready to Find Your Forte. Compose Your Masterpiece and Play Your Crescendo.

Visionary Leadership

With Special Guest Olu Brown

Air Date: February 17, 2021 12:00 pm ET

What if I told you that one of the most successful startups in Atlanta isn’t even a tech startup? (even though they lean into technology). And over the course of my 30+ coaching/consulting career, their leader is the most visionary leader I’ve worked with-and they have realized visions to prove it. You’ve likely heard of them but never thought of their strategic and spiritual excellence. Here’s a hint: They do church differently.
