Leadership Alignment: How Purpose and Relationships Drive Real Organizational Change with Rev. Dr. B. Keith Haney

What if growth—personal or organizational—is not about fixing what’s broken, but remembering what we were meant to become? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, we explore leadership, purpose, and the deeper systems that shape how organizations and people evolve.

Joining the conversation is Rev. Dr. B. Keith Haney, who shares insights from decades of ministry and organizational leadership. This episode is for leaders, team builders, and anyone navigating change in complex systems. You’ll hear why relationships matter more than strategy alone, how fear quietly blocks transformation, and how aligning values with daily actions creates meaningful, sustainable growth.
