Nathan and Brian revisit a 2019 conversation after Nathan’s recent family trip to Paris and his first in-person encounter with Notre Dame’s rose window—the inspiration for the Leadership Vision logo. They explore why place matters for leaders and teams, considering it as an anchor, symbol, intersection, and invitation. From the transept metaphor of waiting to the role of shared team retreats and simple artifacts, this episode offers a practical lens for integrating place into culture.

What You’ll Learn

  • How physical spaces and symbols shape identity and leadership
  • Why returning to meaningful places (pilgrimage) deepens clarity and connection
  • Ways to create “shared places” and artifacts for your team
  • Reflection prompts to identify the places shaping you now

Reflection Questions

  1. What places have shaped who you are—and why do they matter now?
  2. Which “shared place” could your team adopt (and regularly return to)?
  3. What symbol or artifact could serve as a daily reminder of your values?
