What An Irate Parent Taught Me About Leadership
Ep. 1 What an Irate Parent Taught Me About Leadership About 15 years ago, on my birthday, I was standing outside in the hot sun during dismissal getting yelled at by an angry parent. In my head, I wanted to walk away. But as a leader, I believed I had to stand there, take the heat, and prove I could handle anything. It took me years to realize that capability is not an obligation. In Episode 1 of Shift Your Leadership (powered by RestartED Executive Coaching and Consulting), I share how that single afternoon forced three major mindshifts in how I view leadership, boundaries, and identity: 1️⃣ Hard Conversations: Just because you can take the heat doesn't mean the conversation is productive. 2️⃣ Courage: Being fearless in conflict doesn't mean sacrificing your peace or tolerating disrespect. 3️⃣ Identity: Your worth is not measured by every ball you keep from dropping. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite streaming platform! 👉 Connect with me on LinkedIn (Jubilee Ransome) and let me know: Where are you confusing constant availability with true commitment?
Welcome to Shift Your Leadership. I’m your host, Jubilee Ransome—leadership coach, strategist, and veteran educator. This podcast isn't about polished theories or easy answers. It’s about the unvarnished truth of what happens when leadership gets uncomfortable. Every episode, we unpack the 3-part story every leader lives through: What happened, how our ego wanted us to react, and the pivotal shift that transformed how we actually showed up—whether that’s in an executive office, a school building, or around our own kitchen table raising a family. We’re moving past phony harmony and self-defense to talk about what it really takes to lead with high accountability, radical self-awareness, and true intention. Because every leader has a moment that shifts the way they think, lead, and serve. Join me every Friday for brand new episodes. Shift your perspective. Shift your leadership.
