Building Trust and Leading Through Conflict with Rod Stilwell

Mark Kondrat & Dr. Greg Long Season 7 Episode 1

Meet Rod Stilwell, Chief Catalyst and President of Uni-Signal Development Group. With over 30 years of experience in leadership development, Rod specializes in helping executives and teams become the best versions of themselves.

After leaving a successful executive career in banking, Rod found his calling working with engineering, mining companies, and technical leaders—guiding them through the complexities of building trust, navigating conflict, and fostering valuable stakeholder relationships. His work focuses on empowering newly appointed technical leaders to thrive in leadership roles where relational skills are often in high demand, but in short supply.

From owning his first printing business at 16 to spending 18 months in the high Arctic learning new languages and cultures, Rod’s career path is a testament to continuous learning and adaptability.

Join us for a conversation with Rod as we explore his journey into leadership development, his passion for helping technical leaders succeed, and the importance of relationships in achieving business success.
