About this listen
MANN-O-LOUGUES with Dr. Sundra Mann S1E5 FINDING STRENGTH IN THE STRUGGLE with James LeBlanc: In this deeply moving episode of MANN-O-LOUGUES, James LeBlanc, Director of Community Impact, author, and motivational speaker, whose journey from struggle to strength embodies the transformative power of resilience and grace-filled leadership.
James's professional journey mirrors his personal transformation. After holding over 50 jobs across various industries, he found his calling in workforce development through consistent volunteer work that caught someone's attention. Today, with 14 years of sobriety and 13 years in workforce development, he leads with servant leadership—never asking others to do what he hasn't done or wouldn't do himself.
Throughout the conversation, James shares how his struggles became his strengths. His understanding of rock bottom informs his empathy for clients. His experience with job instability drives his focus on retention over mere placement. His journey from resentment to forgiveness shapes his leadership philosophy of extending grace—recognizing that people's "best" varies daily and that sometimes just showing up is the victory.
