A Podcast for Academic Leaders

Welcome to Lead With YOU!, a podcast by Cultural Connections by Design (CCBD) created for academic leaders who are ready to lead with intention, courage, and culture-centered clarity.

Hosted by leadership strategist and former academic leader Dr. Nicole R. Robinson, this podcast is your weekly space to reflect, grow, and realign. Whether you’re navigating a new role, driving institutional change, or simply trying to lead with more purpose in the midst of complexity—this show is for you.

Each episode explores the real challenges of leadership in higher education through personal stories, practical tools, and candid conversations rooted in CCBD’s signature frameworks—including the proprietary 4 P’s: People, Place, Process, and Power.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about alignment.

Because lasting change starts with YOU!
