Change is inevitable—but agency is optional. In this episode of the Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan Freeburg is joined by Brian and Dr. Linda Schubring to explore how leaders can apply the principles from Unfolded: Lessons in Transformation from an Origami Crane when change isn’t chosen, planned, or convenient.

What Stands Out: Reflection as a Leadership Practice
Reflection doesn’t begin with answers.
It begins with noticing.
In this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, we explore the simple questions that slow leaders down long enough to hear themselves think.

It’s about noticing what matters—and allowing that awareness to shape who we’re becoming.

Together, they reflect on why excitement and exhaustion often coexist, why leaders must create space for rest and reflection, and how transformation is never just personal—it reshapes the communities we return to. This conversation invites leaders to rethink what it means to “come home” changed, and how listening well helps growth become sustainable.
