    Invest in Your Energy: Liberation, Burnout, and Leading Without Shrinking with Shayna Renee Hammond

    Executive coach and Lead For Liberation founder Shayna Renee Hammond has spent two decades coaching Black leaders through burnout, and she says the work starts with energy, not strategy. In this episode of Ronderings, Ron sits down with Shayna, founder of Lead For Liberation and Indigo Unbound, for a conversation about what it costs to lead inside systems that were never built for you. Her first day of school was in Pinckney, Michigan, a rural town known for the Ku Klux Klan. She was five, the only Black child, and no one on the bus would let her sit down. She got an assigned seat behind the driver and rode alone for the rest of the year. The emotion she remembers is not shame. It is curiosity. What she took from it was a sentence she still uses: it ain't me. Fifth grade in Washington DC brought her first Black teacher, who pulled her aside and told her she was a leader. She went from the bottom reading group to the top of her class, and became a principal at 25, leading the highest performing middle school in Baltimore at the time. Ron and Shayna get into the raw deal school leaders are handed. LeBron has a trainer and a physical therapist behind him. Principals are told to put up all star numbers and hand themselves an ice pack. Shayna calls the thing underneath it a sick collective consciousness, built on scarcity and false urgency, and she is not waiting for the system to fix itself. Tune in to hear what spirit told her when she felt stuck at 45, and why she calls the CrossFit Open a diagnostic.  Chapters: 🎙️ 00:11 Welcome to Ronderings, and meeting Shayna Renee Hammond 🚌 03:28 Kindergarten in Pinckney, and the bus where no one let her sit ✏️ 07:35 The fifth grade teacher who told her she was a leader 🪞 14:20 It ain't me, and presence alone is revolutionary 📹 16:29 The talk she gave that found her fifth grade teacher again ⏰ 20:25 The Teach for America application she filed at 2:53 in the morning 🗺️ 22:00 Dr. Alonso opened an org chart and let her choose 🤰 26:46 Recruited back by KIPP at eight months pregnant 🌱 31:11 Leaving to be a present mom, and the first contract 💜 36:20 IndigoWomen becomes Indigo Unbound, and a room of 100 Black men 🏀 40:06 LeBron has a whole team, school leaders get an ice pack 🏋️ 43:17 The CrossFit Open and what spirit said about being stuck ⚡ 48:51 The Ronderings question: invest in your energy Links: Website: www.leadforliberation.com Website: www.indigounbound.com Instagram: @indigounbound Reach out to Shayna Renee Hammond through Lead For Liberation for executive coaching and organizational culture work, or through Indigo Unbound, the space she built for Black leaders and entrepreneurs to do the inner work that sustains the outer impact.

    Make the Ask: Social Capital, Trust, and Why Slow Does Not Mean No with Dr. LaShawnna Harris

    Founding principal turned entrepreneur Dr. LaShawnna Harris opened a New York City public school with 220 kindergartners and ran the operations flawlessly. Her appointment still stalled, because systems were never the part she needed to master. In this episode of Ronderings, Ron sits down with LaShawnna, founder of sharEDtalent, to talk about the gap between technical excellence and the relationships that decide whether you get to stay in the room. LaShawnna is a Queens girl who took the bus across the bridge to Monsignor Scanlan in the Bronx and landed at RPI planning to be an engineer. She switched to management and had her daughter as a sophomore. She graduated into a job market that closed on 9/11, with an interview at the World Trade Center scheduled for the week after. An ad for the New York City Teaching Fellows put her in a Bronx classroom by September. By 2010 she was a founding principal in Corona with no grievances and a school she describes as rocking and rolling. Her appointment was held up anyway. A network leader told her to work on the people things. A superintendent suggested she bring donuts. Six months before her defense, she threw out her dissertation and wrote a new one on race socialization, trust, and how Black entrepreneurs mobilize social capital. That research is the foundation of her work now, designing Impact Labs where leaders and entrepreneurs solve problems together instead of trading business cards. Tune in to hear why LaShawnna says the answer is already in your network, and what it costs to never make the ask.   Chapters: 🗽 03:10 Dr. LaShawnna Harris from a Queens block to engineering at RPI 🎓 08:38 Switching to management so she would not fail out of RPI ✂️ 10:57 A police officer with a barbershop and a mother who sewed 😢 13:48 Crying in a closet as a first year teacher 🏫 18:13 Opening a school with 220 kindergartners in Corona 🍩 20:28 The appointment that stalled, and the advice to bring donuts 🤝 22:50 Social capital was not a thing to her in 2010 🧭 25:32 Founding sharEDtalent to connect schools with the help they need 📚 33:32 Rewriting her whole dissertation six months before the defense 🎤 38:19 Redesigning the ed conference so people actually solve problems together 🙌 49:11 The Ronderings question: make the ask, slow does not mean no Links: Website: www.sharedtalent.org LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/lashawnnaharris Substack: substack.com/@sharedtalent Impact Labs: www.sharedtalent.org/impact-lab Reach out to Dr. LaShawnna Harris to learn more about sharEDtalent and the Impact Labs she runs for leaders and entrepreneurs who want to get clear, test ideas, and build the relationships their work depends on.   Connect with Ron: www.linkedin.com/in/rapataloCheck Out Ron's Book: www.amazon.com/dp/1613431473  Leverage Publishing Group: www.leveragepublishinggroup.comPublish a Book That Matters: http://booksthatmatter.orgStart a Podcast That Matters: http://podcastsmatter.comGo from Expert to Thought Leader: http://geniusdiscovery.org

    Leadership Is a Creative Practice: Nonprofit Boards, Trust, and Saying Yes to Possibility with Gary Bagley

    Nonprofit leadership is a creative practice, not a title you master. Executive coach Gary Bagley led New York Cares and now works with the executives and boards holding organizations together. In this episode of Ronderings, Ron sits down with Gary, board adviser and adjunct professor at Columbia and Baruch, to talk about what nonprofit leadership asks of people when the ground keeps moving. Gary trained as a musician. A friend asked him to play piano for a kids' musical theater class, and inside he thought no. He said yes anyway and fell in love with it. That yes led to teaching arts in New York City classrooms and eventually to the top job at New York Cares. A seventh grade aptitude test had told him to be a teacher, be a preacher, or be a social worker. He did not know what a social worker was. He and Ron dig into the gap between the power people assign a nonprofit CEO and the power the job carries. Gary's view is that the most important decisions do not belong to the CEO, and that real preparation means sitting in rooms where people disagree. They also get into boards. A board governs an entire organization on roughly ten to twelve hours of meeting time a year, and going virtual gave Gary the best attendance he had ever seen without the engagement to match. And the people absorbing the most pressure right now are not CEOs. They are the senior leadership teams one level down. Tune in to hear why Gary defines trust as the sum of expectations met, and what saying yes to possibility looks like when the moment feels closed.   Chapters: 🎭 02:48 Gary Bagley: from teaching arts in classrooms to running New York Cares 🎹 08:29 The piano favor he almost turned down 💡 12:05 Making one and one equal three, and why leaders have to fail ⚖️ 17:48 The biggest decisions in a nonprofit do not belong to the CEO 🚦 25:48 Somebody put a foot on the gas pedal and never let up 🪑 32:58 The time boards need most is the time they have least 🤝 40:18 Trust is the sum of expectations met 🛟 44:37 Senior leadership teams are getting hit the hardest 🎨 47:17 The Ronderings question: say yes to possibility Links: Website: garybagley.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/garybagley Reach out to Gary Bagley to talk executive coaching, board governance, and succession planning, and follow his biweekly LinkedIn newsletter Bagleyisms for his running notes on leading and managing nonprofits.

    Equity Over Equality: Failing the Gifted Test, Parent Advocacy, and Asking Families What They Actually Want with Punam V. Saxena

    Parent engagement advocate Punam V. Saxena failed the gifted test in second grade, and spent the next twenty five years believing she was not smart. In this episode of Ronderings, Ron sits down with Punam, a TEDx and SXSW EDU speaker who started out teaching special education, for a conversation about what schools miss when nobody asks families what they actually want. Punam grew up outside Atlanta in the 1970s, the only Indian family in the community. Neighbors asked what tribe they belonged to and how the bindi stayed on her mother's forehead. Her father, the first agricultural engineer of Indian descent hired in this country, once answered that they were Cherokee just to end the conversation. When a second Indian family moved in and their son was also kept out of gifted, Punam's parents told them to go advocate. He got in. He went to MIT. At 22, with no training, she was put in a self contained classroom of students with autism. Later, teaching students with severe emotional disturbances in Florida, she noticed that not one parent came to her door. The turn came in an IEP meeting, where a mother who had taken two buses and unpaid hours off work sat silent while the professionals wrote goals. Punam stopped and asked what she wanted. The answer was life skills, because her son would graduate in seven years. She and Ron get into the Puritan foundations still sitting under American schooling, and her dissertation on how second generation Indian American women build a hybrid cultural identity in college. Tune in to hear why Punam's Ronderings is equity over equality, 100% of the time.   Chapters: 🎙️ 00:11 Welcome to Ronderings, and meeting Punam V.

    Belonging, Masculinity, and Black Boy Joy: Taking L's on the Way to Elevation with Craig Aarons-Martin

    Educator and community builder Craig Aarons-Martin, founder of the Black Boy Joy Summit, has spent more than two decades doing transformative work in Boston's schools, and he is candid here about the rooms he still gets shut out of and why he keeps building anyway. In this episode of Ronderings, Ron sits down with Craig, a New Orleans native, longtime school leader, and author, to talk about belonging, masculinity, faith, and what it takes to choose purpose while carrying real weight. Craig traces his path from a summer school classroom in Louisiana, where a teacher named Miss Madeline handed him a math lesson at thirteen, to Dillard University, to Lesley University and the greater Boston area. He is honest about arriving in Boston over three hundred pounds, "a hundred and seventy-five pounds of that being depression," working his calling while mostly closeted, convinced that showing up fully himself could cost him his license. Ron opens the conversation from his own grief, having just buried his nephew Arnold, and that honesty sets the tone for everything that follows. The two get into why vulnerability is so hard for men of color, what it means when a father starts learning to emote after forty years of silence, and how Craig built the Black Boy Joy Summit as a space for boys of color to see unsung heroes rather than only celebrities and seven-figure CEOs. Craig also names the harder truth underneath his visible success: a hundred outreach emails and twenty-five sponsorship proposals that went nowhere, and a calling he refuses to abandon. Tune in to hear why Craig believes the breakdown always comes before the breakthrough, and why taking L's might be the necessary cost of elevation.   Chapters: 🌱 02:46 Craig Aarons-Martin on the journey of becoming 🧭 05:08 More years in the North, but a Southerner first 🤝 07:54 Why he finally said yes to brotherhood in his forties 🫂 12:52 The loneliness young men of color carry behind the feed 🍎 16:31 Miss Madeline, a math lesson, and the moment he became a teacher 💔 21:12 Arriving in Boston at 300 pounds, carrying depression and a calling 🏳️‍🌈 24:32 The double standard of who gets to be out at work 🧱 27:35 Two decades of excellence and the rooms still closed to him 🗣️ 32:15 A father learning to emote after forty years of silence 🏋️ 35:34 What men lock themselves out of when they refuse to connect 👑 40:17 Building the Black Boy Joy Summit for the sons he hopes to have 🎯 44:33 Taking L's on the way to elevation, and the breakdown before the breakthrough Links: Email: craig@ccmeducationgroup.co Website: ccmeducationgroup.co LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/craigcmartin Linktree: linktr.ee/iamcraigaaronsmartin Reach out to Craig Aarons-Martin to learn more about the Black Boy Joy Summit and his work building brave, affirming spaces for boys and men of color in education.

    The System Will Replace You, Your Family Cannot: Wellness, Burnout, and Leaving the Principalship with Dr. Nadia Lopez

    Dr. Nadia Lopez banked 156 unused sick days. When she finally got too sick to work, the Department of Education separated her from payroll and told her she could come back to work. In this episode of Ronderings, Ron sits down with Dr. Nadia Lopez, award-winning educator, best-selling author of The Bridge to Brilliance, and the founding principal of Mott Hall Bridges Academy in Brownsville, Brooklyn, for a conversation about educator wellness, burnout, and what it costs to give a system everything you have. Dr. Lopez never planned to teach. She trained as a critical care nurse, detoured through Verizon, and was rejected from the NYC Teaching Fellows before a mentor forced them to put the rejection in writing. They could not. She landed in a seventh grade special education classroom in Fort Greene and brought her nursing philosophy with her: know the child before you read the IEP, treat the behaviors and not the label, understand the context before you diagnose the problem. She talks about asking her students whether they had a library at home and realizing they did not own a single book, while thousands sat unused in school storage rooms. She talks about the Global Teacher Prize taking her to Dubai, Sweden, and Korea, and what those systems understand about sustainability that we do not. She talks about her mentor Karen, who ignored her own symptoms the same way Dr. Lopez ignored hers. And she talks about the autoimmune diagnosis that ended her principalship, the medical sabbatical the DOE denied her, and the fight to get insurance back so she could have surgery. Tune in to hear why Dr. Lopez believes leadership is responsibility, not martyrdom, and what her HEART framework asks of leaders who have never once been asked how their heart and spirit are doing.   Chapters: 🩺 02:53 Dr. Nadia Lopez never wanted to be an educator, she was supposed to be a nurse ✉️ 06:56 Rejected by the NYC Teaching Fellows, until a mentor asked them to put it in writing 🏫 11:31 Seventh grade special education in Fort Greene, and the nursing philosophy she brought with her 📕 15:30 The question she asked every student: do you have a library at home 🇬🇹 20:27 Guatemala, the food pantry, and the child nobody knew was struggling 🌍 23:44 The Global Teacher Prize, teaching under a tree, and what other systems understand ❤️ 29:30 The question she asks educators everywhere: how is your heart and spirit 🕯️ 31:26 Karen Giles, glioblastoma, and the signs they both ignored 🚫 41:16 The HEART framework, 156 unused sick days, and the sabbatical the DOE denied 👩‍👧 45:14 Walking away as the lesson she was teaching her daughter about her own worth 📋 50:36 We have attendance protocols for students and nothing for leaders 💭 54:58 The Ronderings question: listen to your body or you become a hypocrite Links: Website: www.thelopezeffect.com Work with Dr. Lopez: www.thelopezeffect.com/workwithme Socials: @thelopezeffect on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and X Dr. Lopez coaches women leaders in education on building careers they can sustain, and she is launching a new health and wellness endeavor.

    From Urban Planning to the Akashic Records: Intuition, Life Purpose, and a Science of Spirituality with Julie Chan

    Julie Chan was a Yale and MIT-trained urban planner building a career in economic development when a spontaneous spiritual awakening opened intuitive abilities she never asked for and could not explain. Today she helps entrepreneurs and executives find their life purpose, and she is on a mission to bring science and spirituality back into the same room. In this episode of Ronderings, Ron sits down with Julie Chan, founder of Being My Purpose and an intuitive life purpose coach, to talk about what happens when the analytical mind you built your career on suddenly is not the only way you know things. Julie's path did not start with crystals and channeling. It started with degrees from Yale and MIT, work in healthcare technology, biotech, and small business development, and a very grounded life in New York City. Then the awakening arrived, unbidden, and with it came clairaudience, clairvoyance, and a set of experiences her training gave her no language for. Rather than run from it, she went looking for a framework big enough to hold both the data and the download. She and Ron get into what it actually means to channel the Akashic Records, why she has written thousands of pages of guidance for clients, and how someone with her background makes peace with abilities that science has not yet caught up to. They talk about purpose as something you uncover rather than invent, the fear that keeps people from expressing it, and why Julie believes healthcare, education, and business are all overdue for a more expansive view of what human beings are capable of. Ron brings his own curiosity and a little healthy skepticism, and Julie meets all of it with warmth and specificity. Tune in to hear how a self-described analytical planner learned to trust a way of knowing she once would have dismissed.   Chapters: 🌱 02:05 Julie Chan on leaving urban planning for a life she never planned 🎓 05:30 What a Yale and MIT planner did before the awakening ⚡ 11:20 The spontaneous awakening that opened abilities she never asked for 👂 18:40 Clairaudience, clairvoyance, and learning to trust a new way of knowing 🗂️ 24:10 What it actually means to channel the Akashic Records ✍️ 27:29 Writing thousands of pages of guidance for clients 🧭 34:05 Purpose is something you uncover, not something you invent 😨 41:30 The fear that keeps people from expressing their purpose 🔬 46:15 Why science and spirituality belong in the same room 🏥 48:20 A bigger view of healthcare, education, and human potential Links: Website: beingmypurpose.com Facebook: facebook.com/beingmypurpose Instagram: @beingmypurpose Connect with Julie Chan at Being My Purpose to learn more about her work helping entrepreneurs and executives uncover and express their life purpose through intuitive coaching and the Akashic Records.   Connect with Ron: www.linkedin.com/in/rapataloCheck Out Ron's Book: www.amazon.com/dp/1613431473  Leverage Publishing Group: www.leveragepublishinggroup.comPublish a Book That Matters: http://booksthatmatter.orgStart a Podcast That Matters: http://podcastsmatter.comGo from Expert to Thought Leader: http://geniusdiscovery.org

    Ask Why, Then Act: From a High School Newsroom to New Leaders and the Good Jobs Economy with Jon Schnur

    A high school sports editor watched a fellow editor dismiss a brilliant Black student's writing. The question that moment raised never left him. In this episode of Ronderings, Ron sits down with Jon Schnur, cofounder of New Leaders and CEO of America Achieves, for a conversation about leadership, education, and economic mobility in the age of AI. Jon grew up just outside Milwaukee, the son of a mother who co-founded one of the country's first children's museums and the city's first racially integrated preschool. He went to that preschool. So when he later sat in segregated Milwaukee classrooms as a teenage reporter, he already knew another way was possible. That gap between what is and what could be became his life's engine: ask why, then ask what we can do about it. That question carried him from a Chicago campaign volunteer job (he started as Bill Clinton's airport driver) through seven years in the Clinton administration, advising Al Gore, and co-founding New Leaders, which has since developed 8,000 school leaders reaching more than a million students. Ron has his own New Leaders story, and the two of them trace what made that community what it was. Then Jon turns to what is next: the good jobs economy, and how states can prepare people for meaningful work as AI reshapes entire careers. Tune in to hear why Jon believes the future is not something to predict, but something we decide through what we choose to do.   Chapters: 🎙️ 00:40 Welcome to Ronderings, and a full-circle reunion two decades in the making🏛️ 04:24 Growing up in Milwaukee, and a mother who built museums and integrated preschools📰 09:39 The high school newsroom moment that turned a sports editor toward education🚗 20:26 From Clinton's airport driver to seven years in the administration🏫 24:19 Why every great school had a great principal, and the idea behind New Leaders🤝 31:15 Twenty-five years of New Leaders, and the people who built the community🌎 38:12 How a search for an executive director led to Barack Obama💼 53:30 The good jobs economy, and preparing people for work in the age of AI❤️ 58:30 The Ronderings question: equal dignity, asking why, and taking action📬 1:00:18 How to reach Jon, and a final word on responsibility over grievance🎧 1:04:36 Closing reflections, and Podcasts That Matter at www.podcaststhatmatter.orgLinks: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jon-schnur America Achieves: linkedin.com/company/america-achieves Email Jon directly: jon.schnur@americaachieves.org Reach out to Jon to talk leadership, the good jobs economy, and how states can prepare people for meaningful work in the age of AI.
