Listen "9. When Influence Matters More Than Titles with Jesse Field"
Episode Synopsis
What if one conversation could shift your purpose and set you on a whole new path toward leadership? In this episode, I’m joined by Jesse Field, whose powerful story of being “enlisted to lead” by his beloved aunt reveals how those who truly know us can sometimes spark a lifelong calling we didn’t yet see in ourselves.We explore the turning points that shaped Jesse’s journey as a teacher and mentor, the impact of family, faith, and community, and the idea that leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about the influence you have every day. Jesse shares what it means to carry the “backpack of responsibility,” why finding your strengths matters, and how leadership isn’t about arriving but about becoming, growing, and choosing to lead with authenticity.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
