Tempered Resilience: Leading Through Change (Ethos Leadership Mastermind Course)

The kind of leadership that lasts in times of change.

What kind of leader are you becoming in the middle of pressure, uncertainty, and change?

Join us for the next Ethos Leadership Mastermind Course as we journey through Tempered Resilience by Tod Bolsinger—a powerful and practical guide for leaders who are navigating real-world challenges in business, nonprofit, church, and community settings.

In a world that demands constant adaptation, leadership isn’t just about strategy—it’s about formation. Bolsinger reminds us that resilient leaders aren’t born; they are forged in the crucible of change.

“To temper describes the process of heating, holding, hammering, cooling, and reheating… until raw iron becomes a sharpened blade.”

Through this mastermind experience, you’ll explore the six stages of leadership formation:

• Working – Leading shapes you
• Heating – Self-reflection strengthens you
• Holding – Relationships sustain you
• Hammering – Pressure forms you
• Hewing – Practice refines you
• Tempering – Rhythm restores you

This is a guided leadership lab where you’ll engage in honest conversations, real-life application, and practical tools to help you:

• Navigate resistance and lead adaptive change
• Grow stronger without becoming rigid
• Stay grounded in purpose beyond success or survival
• Develop the kind of resilience that serves real people

Whether you’re leading an organization, a team, a ministry, or preparing for what’s next, this mastermind will help you become the kind of leader who endures, adapts, and thrives.

Step into the fire—not to burn out, but to be formed.

In today’s digital world, businesses invest significant time and money creating video content, social media campaigns, websites, and podcasts. Yet one of the most important elements of effective communication is often overlooked—audio. 

Poor audio quality can distract audiences and diminish your message, while clear, professional sound instantly builds credibility and helps your content stand out. Simply put: Audio is King.

Join veteran media producer Tom Mann as he shares practical insights gained from decades of experience in broadcast television, radio, podcasting, and digital media production. Tom will demonstrate how quality audio can elevate your brand and increase audience engagement across social media, websites, podcasts, and video platforms.

During this hands-on workshop, attendees will learn:

• Why audio quality matters more than ever in digital marketing
• How to choose the right microphone for different situations
• Common audio mistakes businesses make—and how to avoid them
• Techniques for creating clear, professional voice recordings
• Simple audio processing tools and effects that improve sound quality
• Practical tips for podcasts, videos, interviews, and social media content

Whether you're a marketing professional, business owner, content creator, podcaster, or media producer, this seminar will provide valuable tools and techniques you can immediately apply to your own projects.

Discover how better audio can strengthen your message, enhance your brand, and help you connect more effectively with your audience.

Join Tom Mann for "Creating Better Audio for Today’s Digital Marketplace" and learn how great sound can set your content apart. This is a no cost workshop. You need to register to attend!
