In this episode of The Solo Coach Podcast, we are joined by Dr Calvin Lawrence, educator, leadership coach and author of The Happy Leader.
With over 40 years of leadership experience across education and community service, Calvin shares a deeply human and refreshing perspective on what leadership really looks like when it is done well. Together, we explore humility as a leadership strength, the importance of trust and relationships, and why the best leaders are driven by service rather than status.
This conversation is for anyone who has ever resisted leadership, questioned whether it is possible to lead without burning out, or felt disillusioned by outdated models built on pressure, ego and control. Calvin challenges the idea that leadership must be lonely or stressful, and instead offers a vision of leadership rooted in care, connection and authenticity.
You will hear powerful stories about the impact of teachers and mentors, the role of failure in personal growth, and why people do not leave jobs, they leave leaders. From schools to organisations, and from emerging leaders to experienced ones, this episode is a reminder that leadership can be both effective and fulfilling.
If you are curious about what it really means to be a happy leader, this conversation will leave you energised, informed and inspired.
