In this inspiring episode, host Ruth Easterling sits down with longtime educator and former superintendent Dr. Susan Enfield to explore what it truly means to lead with courage, authenticity, and resilience.

Together, we discuss:
-
The importance of women supporting women in leadership

Taking risks—even when the outcome is uncertain

How to face criticism with strength and grace

The power of reframing failure as growth
-
And why unapologetic advocacy for other women matters
“You don’t lead to be liked. You lead to make a difference.” — Dr. Susan Enfield
This powerful reminder challenges us to lead with conviction, even when it's uncomfortable or unpopular. True leadership is grounded in purpose, not approval.
