The Leadership Vision Podcast

Why Every Transformation Needs a Little Courage to Take Flight

We explore how leaders move from try to fly: building self-belief through repeated practice, welcoming help (even when it’s uncomfortable), and trusting people, process, and place. We discuss the “pre-flight checklist,” the role of mentors at altitude (the “Eagle”), and how to hold your core identity—your map—through transformation.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why Fly is the climax of the Unfolded arc (Dream → Play → Try → Fly)
  • How self-trust is built (not bought) through reps and reflection
  • Ways to receive help without judging its shape (encouragers, planners, critics)
  • The triple trust: people, process, place
  • Mentoring at altitude: finding (and being) the Eagle
  • Why your creases and crumples are reminders, not flaws
