In this episode of Beyond High Performance, Jason Jaggard sits down with Diane Grant, the longtime strategic partner and executive assistant to Andy Stanley — best-selling author, world-renowned communicator, and founder of North Point Ministries, one of the largest and most influential leadership organizations in the world.
This isn’t just a story about supporting a leader. It’s a conversation about how elite leadership actually works behind the scenes — and what the world’s highest-performing CEOs, executives, and entrepreneurs can learn from it.
From her beginnings as a pediatric oncology nurse to leading in medical sales and ultimately becoming one of the most trusted figures inside North Point’s executive leadership, Diane reveals the systems, mindset shifts, and emotional intelligence frameworks that have allowed her to thrive in one of the most complex leadership environments imaginable.
Whether you’re leading a global enterprise, scaling a fast-growing company, or building an organization from the ground up, this episode will challenge how you think about trust, delegation, influence, and collaboration — and give you practical strategies for multiplying your impact.
