How Do You Lead with Purpose, Faith, and Focus with Dana Stillwell

What happens when you combine a heart for people, a lifetime of hard work, and a belief that you’re capable of more than you think?

In today’s episode of Thinking That Matters, I’m joined by my Leadership McKinney classmate and friend, Dana Stillwell, Senior Development Liaison for the City of McKinney- someone whose story reminds us what it looks like to lead with intention, humility, and purpose.

If you’ve ever felt stretched between expectations, communication challenges, or the pressure to “figure it all out,” Dana offers a refreshing perspective. This conversation will help you rethink how you lead, how you work with others, and how you anchor your decisions in what genuinely matters.

 

Key topics:

• How Dana coordinates massive, high-profile city projects with clarity and calm
• The leadership lessons she learned growing up in her family’s small-town radio station
• Why “time is money” became a core belief- and how it shows up in her work every day
• How faith and loss shaped her values, her focus, and her compassion for people
• The mindset that keeps her steady when customers are frustrated or communication breaks down
• Why listening more (and talking less!) may be the most transformative leadership tool you have
• How thinking that matters naturally guides us into doing what matters and loving what matters
