    Nov 6 2025

    In this episode, James Burke explores what it truly means to lead with intention, authenticity, and care. We talk about finding language for transition seasons—those in-between moments when most people crave certainty, but what they actually need is clarity.

James offers powerful insights into what happens when leaders genuinely invest in their people—recognizing potential, nurturing growth, and helping others step into their own greatness.
