The Diamond Dogs Podcast

 

Hosted by Beth Rashleigh and Jason Barnaby, The Diamond Dogs Podcast explores the complications and joys of leadership through the lens of one of television's most beloved leadership case studies: Ted Lasso.

Each episode takes a deeper look at leadership, communication, trust, team culture, emotional intelligence, and personal growth—connecting lessons from the show to the real-world challenges leaders face every day.

Whether you're a healthcare executive, people leader, coach, or simply someone who wants to lead others more effectively, you'll find practical insights, thoughtful conversations, and a few laughs along the way.

 

Leadership Lessons You Can Actually Use

The best leadership lessons don't always come from textbooks and boardrooms.

Sometimes they come from a football coach with a mustache.

The Diamond Dogs Podcast takes a practical, approachable look at the leadership behaviors that build trust, strengthen teams, improve communication, and create cultures where people can thrive.

Topics include:

  • Building trust and psychological safety
  • Giving and receiving feedback
  • Authentic leadership
  • Emotional intelligence
  • Team culture and engagement
  • Leadership communication
  • Accountability and difficult conversations
  • Coaching and developing others
