In this special Thanksgiving episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan Freeburg reflects on the leadership posture of holding long-term goals and present-moment gratitude simultaneously. Drawing from themes within Dr. Linda and Brian Schubring’s book Unfolded: Lessons in Transformation from an Origami Crane, Nathan explores why transformation grows slowly — through small, daily practices that shape who we become over time.

This episode offers a grounding, accessible reflection for leaders, teams, and anyone hoping to reconnect with purpose, gratitude, and the meaningful work unfolding in their lives.

Reflection

Take a few moments to pause and appreciate and express gratitude for both:

1. The things you’re doing right now, however ordinary they may feel.
2. The things you’re working toward, however far away they may seem.

What You’ll Learn

• Why gratitude is a fundamental leadership skill
• How ambition and appreciation work together in healthy leadership
• Why transformation happens through small, consistent habits
• A practical Thanksgiving reflection to use personally or with your team
