IA Business Advisors Partner Gregg-Brooke Koleno recently joined the Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart podcast with host Steve Ramona for a conversation centered on positivity, influence, and leadership rooted in service.
In the episode, Gregg-Brooke shares her personal transformation from once carrying a negative mindset to intentionally choosing positivity in both life and business. She speaks candidly about how therapy, coaching, and self-awareness helped her remove the “chip on her shoulder” and replace it with gratitude and growth. That shift, she explains, strengthened her relationships, expanded her leadership impact, and deepened her sense of fulfillment both personally and professionally.
A defining part of the conversation centers on her belief that telling people “I love you” means loving them as fellow humans. Whether speaking to a women’s leadership group or addressing hundreds at a holiday event, Gregg-Brooke emphasizes that authentic appreciation changes the energy in a room. She also shares practical habits that reinforce this mindset, including handwritten gratitude cards, daily positive inputs, and an annual act of service where she and a group of friends generously tip a server during the holidays.
Throughout the discussion, one theme remains clear: business success is amplified when leadership is grounded in community, accountability, and intentional influence. As host of the Daily Influence podcast and a leader within the business community, Gregg-Brooke continues to advocate for positivity as a competitive advantage, not just a personality trait.
If you’re looking for perspective on servant leadership, mindset transformation, and building stronger relationships in business, this conversation delivers powerful takeaways.
