“If you can’t say ‘my bad,’ you’re not leading. You’re just managing damage.”That line from my conversation with Dr. Shawn Wooden cut right to the heart of leadership. In this episode of The Unbroken Place, Shawn and I explore what it really means to lead with emotional intelligence and integrity—especially in education. He reminds us that being a principal, an educator, or any kind of leader isn’t just about strategy or systems… it’s about self-awareness and accountability. We talk about the kind of leadership that isn’t afraid to reflect, admit mistakes, and grow out loud. Because if you’re always defending your ego, you’re never building trust.🎧 Whether you’re in the classroom, the boardroom, or anywhere in between, this clip is a reminder:Leadership starts with you.

“There’s a cost to being excellent when you’re not expected to be in the room.”
That quote—and the quiet weight behind it—stayed with me long after my conversation with Shawn Wooden.

In this episode of The Unbroken Place, Shawn shares what it’s like to lead as a Black principal in Indiana, a state where policy, perception, and politics often collide with the everyday realities of education.

We discuss everything from systemic inequity to personal resilience, and the research he did on Black school leaders who’ve endured—beyond the three-year threshold where most burn out.

🎧 If you're in leadership, education, or simply trying to lead with empathy and truth, this conversation is for you.
Let’s keep learning. Together.
