24. Leadership Is Seen Before It’s Stepped Into with Jonathan Coats

Leadership doesn’t start with a title—it starts when someone sees something in you that you may not yet see in yourself.
In this episode of Rise Up and Lead: Real Lessons, Real Stories, Real Talk, Dr. Kim sits down with Jonathan Coats, an elementary school principal whose leadership journey began not with ambition—but with enlistment.
From an unexpected start in education to a life-changing conversation with a colleague who called him into leadership, Jonathan shares how one person’s belief can alter your trajectory forever. In one of the most powerful moments of the conversation, he reflects on the reality that the person who “enlisted” him into leadership did not live to see who he would become.
This episode is a reminder that leadership is not just developed—it is spoken into existence, called forward, and carried on.
