In this episode, I interview U.S. strengths coach and serial foster mom Wendy Willard about her Unlock Moment, in which a move to Nicaragua with her family led her to fundamentally re-evaluate her needs. Through foster-parenting 25 teenagers, she developed her simple but effective SLATHY (shamed, lonely, afraid, tired, hungry, yucky) framework to help people in families and in business find the words to talk about their feelings when their needs aren't met.Learn more at thestrengthsencourager.com Discover SLATHY at slathy.comFollow Wendy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestrengthsencourager/Follow The Strengths Encourager on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-strengths-encourager/

Great leaders aren't defined by their title.

They're defined by a moment.

A moment when clarity cuts through the noise. A moment when a difficult decision becomes unavoidable. A moment that changes not just what they do, but how they lead.

This is The Unlock Moment.

Downloaded in more than 140 countries, The Unlock Moment is the leadership podcast that goes beyond success stories, strategies, and polished narratives to uncover the moments that shaped the people behind them.

In each episode, master interviewer, executive coach, and author Dr Gary Crotaz sits down with world-class leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, thinkers, and change-makers to explore the turning points that transformed their perspective, their performance, and their lives.

These are not conversations about what happened.

They're conversations about what changed.

From boardrooms to Olympic podiums, from start-ups to global institutions, every guest reveals the insight, challenge, setback, or breakthrough that unlocked a new level of leadership.

Because when you understand someone's Unlock Moment, you understand what really matters.

And you might discover one of your own.
