Season 7 Ep 4: Onna LeBeau on Building Relationships with Super Souls

Author: Lisa Kuzman January 13, 2022 Duration: 14:06

My guest today is Onna LeBeau, a member of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska who has a passion for financial literacy and helping the underserved population. She brings that passion to her work as Executive Director of the Black Hills Community Loan Fund in Rapid City, South Dakota. And today, she's here to share her experiences in READY!

Together, we talked about:

  • Why she decided to join READY
  • What she got out of READY that she didn't expect
  • Her insights for anyone considering joining the program
  • Healing through building deep and enduring relationships

"You're not too old to learn. Every day, you're going to learn something new. And I think whatever cohort you have, the new individuals that you bring into your program, they're going to learn from each other. Hopefully, whatever the next step is after this, we can continue to learn from each other, support each other, and continue keeping our little family together. And we'll be there cheering each other on, and helping each other in these challenging times."

Onna, I can't thank you enough for coming onto the show to share your experiences today. You're truly a passionate advocate for your clients who are seeking a healthier, more empowered way of living financially.

There's a quiet shift happening in how we think about authority and influence, and New Wave Leadership Podcast is right at the heart of it. Host Lisa Kuzman believes traditional, top-down leadership models have run their course, proving ineffective for today's complex world. Instead, this movement champions a much broader, more inclusive vision. Each episode digs into the real, often unspoken challenges that come with stepping into a role of influence, whether you're in a corner office, a community group, or simply leading your own life. The conversations here actively work to expand our definition of who gets to be a leader, arguing passionately for the necessity of diverse identities, perspectives, and lived experiences at the helm. You'll hear frank discussions about authenticity, the personal hurdles leaders navigate behind closed doors, and practical ideas for cultivating your own unique leadership identity without conforming to outdated standards. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a necessary dialogue-one that moves beyond theory to explore what it genuinely means to show up and make an impact on your own terms.
