#852 Dr Gene Coughlin

What does it take to build resilient leaders, strengthen organizational culture, and create teams that thrive through adversity? Dr. Gene Coughlin, founder of the Resilience-Building Leader Program (RBLP), joins The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas to explore leadership development, team resilience, and the power of building people. Leadership isn't about a title. It's about the people who are better because you showed up. And this week's guest has dedicated his life to that very idea. Dr. Gene Coughlin is a United States Marine Corps veteran, organizational leadership expert, and the founder of Resilience-Building Leader Program Inc. (RBLP), established in 2018. After serving our country in the Marine Corps from 1987 to 2007, Gene continued his commitment to leadership through program management positions with SAIC, the American Red Cross, and AECOM. But he wasn't finished building. He founded RBLP with a vision to develop resilient leaders and stronger teams through a nationally recognized series of leadership certifications. And when it comes to understanding leadership, Gene has put in the work. He earned his bachelor's degree in History and master's degree in Military Studies from American Military University, an MBA from National University, and a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine University. That's a whole lot of education backed by a lifetime of experience. What I appreciate about Gene's journey is that his work centers on something I believe with my whole heart. People are the greatest investment we will ever make. Whether you're leading a business, developing a team, serving your country, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, resilience matters. Because great leadership isn't just about what we accomplish. It's about who we help become stronger along the way. I'm honored to welcome Dr. Gene Coughlin to The VIBE. CONNECT WITH DR.
