Listen "13. Becoming the Leader Others Already See in You with Dr. Leon Edwards"
Episode Synopsis
We know that real leadership isn't just about titles, and sometimes, the call to lead sneaks up on you before you feel ready! In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Leon Edwards to explore his journey of becoming a truly impactful and transformational leader. His path through education, technology, and mentorship reveals how leadership grows when someone sees potential in you and gives you the chance to step up, even if you don’t fully see it in yourself yet.Dr. Edwards shares how self-criticism and external affirmation have shaped his journey and the powerful impact it can have when someone believes in you enough to encourage you to step up before you feel ready. You’ll hear how transformational leaders listen with intention, invest in the growth of those around them, and help others continue to grow beyond the boundaries of their own classroom or team. If you are wanting to make real connections and real impact as a leader, this episode is a must listen!Connect with Dr. Kim RichardsonCheck out her websiteFollow her on Instagram @drkimleadershipFollow her on TikTok @drkimleadershipFollow her in X @drkimleadershipLike her page on FacebookConnect with her on LinkedIn
