EPISODE 11: Honor: The Final Standard of...

TRANSFORMATION TALK RADIO
About this episode
Honor isn’t about titles. 
It’s not about being liked, praised, or followed. 
 
It’s about how you hold what matters. 
Your values. Your people. Your word. Your self. 
 
In this final episode of The Modern Culture leadership series, Cari and Leah drop into Principle 10: Honor—the principle that turns all the others into lived experience. 
 
Honor is the quiet standard that runs through powerful leadership. It’s what allows truth to be spoken in hard moments. It’s what builds cultures that last beyond you. It’s the throughline between integrity and impact. 
 
In this episode, we explore: 
  • What Honor actually means in modern leadership—and why most people confuse it with respect 
  • How to embody Honor without ego, rigidity, or perfectionism 
  • The neuroscience of moral congruence and inner conflict 
  • How unchecked dishonor erodes culture, even in high-performing teams 
  • A story of a leader who restored Honor after breaking trust 
  • Three micro-practices to honor your boundaries, your values, and your relationships daily 
  • The role of Honor in how you lead, speak, hire, fire, scale, and serve 
 
You’ve built awareness, curiosity, compassion, presence, power, purpose, and innovation. 
Honor is what ties it all together. 
It’s not about what you leave behind. 
It’s about how you carry it all—right now
