  Episode 36: You Are 100% Responsible

  Sep 14, 202621 minS1

  What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t what happened to you, but how you’re choosing to respond to it? In this episode of The Navigating Leaders Podcast , Gabriel Griess challenges you to embrace radical responsibility by taking 100% ownership of how you show up in every area of your life. That doesn’t mean accepting blame for someone else’s actions or believing you can control everything around you. It means recognizing that no matter what happens, you still have a choice in how you respond. Drawing from The Results Tree and his own journey of confronting difficult patterns in his life, Gabriel explains how blame, excuses, old stories, and automatic reactions can quietly keep you stuck. He shares how taking an honest look at the person he had become helped him confront uncomfortable truths, make different choices, and move from a life driven by comparison to one grounded in faith, purpose, and service. If you’re tired of feeling powerless, frustrated by patterns you can’t seem to break, or ready to create different results in your life, this episode will challenge you to stop giving your power away. When you take responsibility for your choices and responses, you create the opportunity to break old patterns, live more intentionally, and become the person God created you to be. ==================== RESOURCES Website: navigatingleaders.com Vision Engine: navigatingleaders.com/vision-engine The Results Tree — A Proven Path to the Life You Really Want: TheResultsTree.com CONNECT WITH GABRIEL YouTube: @navigatingleaders Instagram: @navigatingleaders Facebook: @navigatingleaders TikTok: @navigatingleaders ️ LinkedIn: @navigatingleaders ==================== ABOUT GABRIEL Gabriel Griess is a retired US Air Force officer, the CEO of Excel Medical Staffing and MedForceX, and the founder of Navigating Leaders.

  Episode 35: Your Results Don’t Lie

  Sep 7, 202618 minS1

  What if the results you’re unhappy with are actually showing you what needs to change? In this episode of The Navigating Leaders Podcast , Gabriel Griess challenges you to take an honest inventory of the results you have created across every area of your life, including your faith, family, fitness, finances, and freedom. Your results reveal where you have invested your time, talent, and treasure, and whether those investments align with the person you want to become. Drawing from his own experiences with alcohol, gambling, and decisions that could have derailed his future, Gabriel explains how painful results can become powerful tools for transformation. Instead of using your results to punish yourself, justify your choices, or remain stuck, you can treat them as neutral feedback that helps you recognize what is working and what needs to change. If you are dissatisfied with an area of your life, this episode will challenge you to stop making excuses, take ownership of your choices, and use your current results to plot a new path forward. You are not defined by what has already happened. You have the freedom and responsibility to choose what you will create next. ==================== RESOURCES Website: navigatingleaders.com Vision Engine: navigatingleaders.com/vision-engine The Results Tree — A Proven Path to the Life You Really Want: TheResultsTree.com CONNECT WITH GABRIEL YouTube: @navigatingleaders Instagram: @navigatingleaders Facebook: @navigatingleaders TikTok: @navigatingleaders ️ LinkedIn: @navigatingleaders ==================== ABOUT GABRIEL Gabriel Griess is a retired US Air Force officer, the CEO of Excel Medical Staffing and MedForceX, and the founder of Navigating Leaders.
