    When Transformation Comes Home: How Leaders Integrate Growth After Change

    Send us a text What happens when you’ve been changed by a powerful experience—growth, success, or transformation—and then return to the same environment that hasn’t changed with you? In this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan Freeburg talks with Dr. Linda and Brian Schubring to unpack Chapter 5 of Unfolded: Lessons in Transformation from an Origami Crane. Together, they explore what it means for leaders to come “home” after transformation—to re-enter familiar places with new eyes, integrate learning without losing authenticity, and respond to misunderstanding or resistance with grounded self-acceptance. You’ll discover how to navigate post-growth tension, recognize the “maps” that guide your next chapter, and turn personal insight into collective growth. For leaders who want to grow without leaving others behind, this episode reframes home as the true beginning of impact. Episode Overview This conversation invites leaders to think of home as a metaphor for integration—the moment when transformation becomes an integral part of daily life. Nathan, Linda, and Brian reflect on how growth changes our inner landscape and why it can feel disorienting to return to familiar roles or teams afterward. Using the story of OC, the origami crane, they explore how to balance confidence with humility, courage with rest, and individuality with community. Key Takeaways Growth requires reintegration. Real transformation isn’t complete until you’ve learned how to bring it home.Self-acceptance sustains flight. You don’t need to prove your growth—own it, rest in it, and live from it.Criticism often follows courage. Expect pushback after change; learn to listen without losing your center.“Home” restores and relaunches. Renewal, reflection, and rest give leaders the capacity to serve again.Your “map” was always within. The wisdom, strengths, and potential you need have been part of you all along.Things to Think About While Listening When have you returned to a familiar place or team after a period of personal or professional growth?How did others respond—and how did you respond to their reactions?What practices help you effectively reintegrate new learning without minimizing its impact?Where are the “maps” in your own leadership story that guide your next chapter?How can you create space for others who are returning home changed?Notable Quotes 🎉 Unfolded is a National Bestseller! #1 in Business & #5 Overall on USA Today #17 on Publisher’s Weekly Nonfiction 📘 Grab your copy + get the FREE Reflection Guide!
