As Unfolded: Lessons in Transformation from an Origami Crane<\/a><\/em> launches this week<\/strong> (June 4, 2025, get your copy here<\/a>!<\/em>) Dr. Linda and Brian Schubring take a moment to reflect on the winding, emotional journey that brought their book to life. In this special episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast<\/em>, recorded just after a meaningful week at a lakeside home in Minnesota, they share the behind-the-scenes story of how this project began, evolved, and came full circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A year ago, Linda and Brian found themselves at a turning point. At a lake house in Minnesota\u2014near where Linda\u2019s grandparents once lived\u2014they finalized the manuscript for Unfolded. The space, the quiet, and the support of their families sparked deep creativity. \u201cEach day Linda rewrote and worked with the chapters I had written,<\/em>\u201d Brian recalls. \u201cBy the time the day was over, we had a finished chapter.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collaborative effort\u2014marked by trust, vulnerability, and mutual respect\u2014shaped the book and their working relationship. As Linda puts it, \u201cUnfolded is a reflection of how we work with clients, inspire leaders, and interact with our family.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrating Full Circle Moments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fast-forward to this year: the book is in hand, the publishing journey complete, and the same lake once again serves as the backdrop for celebration. Linda and Brian reflect on the significance of physically handing the book to their family members\u2014those who inspired and supported them along the way. \u201cTo share it with our loved ones and say thank you, with tears and gratitude\u2014that was a full circle moment<\/em>,\u201d says Linda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also acknowledge the bittersweet transition of completing a significant creative endeavor. Brian notes, \u201cOne circle has gone all the way around\u2026and a new one is beginning\u2014with anticipation and fear.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living What They Teach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This conversation is a living example of what Unfolded<\/a><\/em> is about: embracing transformation, sitting in tension, and acknowledging that \u201cboth can be true.\u201d High-stakes collaboration can be thrilling and exhausting. Endings can be celebratory and sad. And growth almost always requires us to let go of what was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhat I mistakenly thought in some of my early dreamings of being an author is how much it would\u2019ve been completely reliant on me\u2026 That is definitely not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
