Real conversations for people done pretending. The Bear Essentials Podcast dives into the moments that shape us—the setbacks, the pivots, the quiet rebuilds no one sees. It’s about the stuff beneath the surface: identity, discipline, purpose, and what it really takes to keep going. There's no gimmicks or guest-for-guest’s-sake. Just meaningful dialogue with people who’ve lived it. Because sometimes, the most important thing you can do… is just show up.

Leadership Decoded: Unlocking the Communication Code

In this powerful episode of The Bear Essentials Podcast, Leadership Decoded: The Communication Code, host Charles Wallace sits down with Cedric Solice — Founder & CEO of CLS Leadership Solutions, global consultant, and national public speaker with over 25 years of experience shaping leaders across athletics, higher education, corporate America, and international organizations.

This isn’t just a conversation about leadership—it’s about the scars, lessons, and communication breakdowns that ultimately define the leaders we become. Cedric shares how his journey from the drum and bugle corps to Syracuse University women’s basketball’s historic NCAA Championship run, and later to building leadership programs inside a Fortune 500 company, taught him the importance of communication as the foundation of trust and influence.

From boardrooms to basketball courts to global stages, Cedric reveals how “The Communication Code” can transform the way we lead, connect, and grow. We dig into lessons from failure, the hidden cost of being in charge, and why the best leaders carry scars, not perfection.

🎯 If you’ve ever wondered what separates average leaders from those who leave a lasting legacy—this episode is for you.
