What Your Team Isn’t Telling You — And Why It Matters More Than You Think with Bill Goodwin

Written By Arnold Denah

What if the gap between the leader you think you are… and the leader your people actually experience… is wider than you realize?

That’s where we’re going today.

I’m Bart Nollenberger, and on this episode of Keep the Change, I’m sitting down with someone who has reshaped the way I look at leadership, purpose, and the quiet battles most leaders never talk about — my friend Bill Goodwin.

Bill’s a former pastor, a leadership coach, and the author of Priority Living. But labels don’t capture him. He’s one of those rare people who can look you in the eye, ask one question, and suddenly you’re rethinking your entire approach to life and influence.

So today, we poured some coffee and dug into the conversations leaders usually avoid — the kind that shift cultures, families, businesses, and everything in between.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear us explore:

  •  Why some leaders run from honest feedback… and what that decision silently costs them.

  •  What happens the moment you stop leading from your title and start leading from your truth.

  •  The surprising impact of discovering your purpose and why most people never actually do it.

  •  The real story behind the Purpose Factor assessments… and how they’ve been reshaping teams from the inside out.

  •  A life-changing moment in Bill’s past that completely reframed the way he lives, leads, and serves today.

  • The everyday habits that quietly drain leaders — and the “rhythm reset” that can change everything.

But here’s what makes this conversation special: Bill doesn’t give you theories. He gives you lived experience. Hard-earned wisdom. And a way of seeing yourself that feels both challenging and hopeful at the same time.

If you’ve been needing a reset… or even just permission to rethink what leadership looks like in this season of your life… press play.
