UNPACKED
Lead with Impact, Because People Always Matter
Welcome to Unpacked Leadership, where leadership isn’t about titles or positions – it’s about the difference you make every day. Join leadership coach, author, and podcast host Ron Harvey on a growth journey to become the kind of leader who leaves a legacy of positive influence. Here, we believe that people always matter, and that true leadership is defined by your impact on others.
Why Unpacked Leadership?
If you’re a mid-level manager, supervisor, executive, or business owner who knows that leadership is about people – that trust, collaboration, and heart matter as much as strategy – you’re in the right place. Unpacked Leadership offers premier professional leadership development in a safe space where you can grow and build a stronger community. We strip away the fluff and get real about the challenges and triumphs of leading in today’s world. Ron’s approach is open, candid, and compassionate. No scripted theories – just real conversations about real issues, with tools you can put into practice right away.
Here’s what makes Unpacked Leadership different:
People-First Philosophy
We put humans before hierarchies. Everything here starts with the belief that People Always Matter. In fact, employees who feel genuinely cared for by their leaders are 69% less likely to look for a new job – proof that focusing on people isn’t just kind, it’s smart business.
Candid & Compassionate Coaching
No corporate jargon or ivory-tower theories. Ron keeps it real with honest discussions about the struggles leaders face. It’s an open, judgment-free zone where you can admit “I don’t have all the answers” and get support to find them.
Practical Tools & Actionable Advice
After each podcast episode, book chapter, or mastermind session, you’ll walk away with practical steps and the confidence to move forward. We focus on tips you can use today to inspire your team and improve your leadership.
Community & Support
Leadership can be tough – but you’re not in it alone. Unpacked Leadership is a community of peers who have your back. You’ll connect with other growth-minded leaders to swap insights, share wins (and failures), and cheer each other on.
Meet Ron Harvey – Your Guide on This Journey
Hi, I’m Ron Harvey. With over 35 years of leadership experience – including 21 years as a U.S. Army veteran and decades coaching executives and teams – I’ve learned that “leadership isn’t about how many people report to you; it’s about how many people rise because of you.” I’ve dedicated my life to helping leaders create that kind of impact.
As a certified leadership coach (PCC) trained at Harvard and Georgetown and co-founder of a successful leadership consulting firm, I bring world-class expertise with a down-to-earth style. More importantly, I lead with heart. My mission is simple: People Always Matter. I believe in making a difference by inspiring leaders to lead with empathy, courage, and purpose.
I promise to be open, candid, and compassionate in helping you grow. We’re going to roll up our sleeves and do the real work – together. I know what it’s like to face tough leadership challenges (and I’ve got the battle scars and stories to prove it!). My approach isn’t about perfection or theory – it’s about progress and positive impact. Whether you’re building trust in a small team or steering an entire organization through change, I’ll be by your side with guidance born from experience and a genuine desire to see you succeed.

Unpacked Leadership Conference —
Get Ready for 2026
The Unpacked Leadership Conference by Global Core Strategies & Consulting was a major success in 2025, bringing together executives, emerging leaders, and professionals from across industries for a full day of transformational leadership development. The event sold out, and attendees consistently praised the high-level insights, powerful speakers, and the genuine sense of community that unfolded throughout the day.
Keynote sessions from leaders such as Tim Arnold, CEO of Colonial Life, and Major General Patricia R. Wallace of the U.S. Army Reserve delivered fresh perspectives on culture, leadership, and resilience. Breakout workshops led by Ron and Linda Harvey and other leadership experts gave participants the chance to “unpack” their challenges, gain clarity, and walk away with strategies they could immediately put into action.
The energy of the conference continued long after it ended. Feedback described the experience as “phenomenal,” “powerful,” and “life-changing,” with many attendees highlighting the meaningful conversations, the networking opportunities, and the renewed sense of purpose they felt moving forward. Social media posts echoed the excitement, celebrating the sold-out event and the impact it made on leaders at every level.
