Letting others shine: lessons in leadership with Prince Jimmar

I'd love your feedback, send me a message

In this episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast, I’m joined by Prince Jimmar for a conversation that delves into the roots of motivation and asks, “How can we be of true service to those around us, and why do we show up the way we do?”

 Prince is a co-founder and Executive Director of Rebels for Peace, a community organisation in South Chicago.  The Rebels for Peace's mission is to uncover the next generation of leaders and bring relatable, sustainable, and transformational mental health programs to youth in underserved communities.

 Together, we explore how our drive to help others is often intertwined with personal growth, learning, and an openness to understanding different perspectives.  Prince shares stories about finding purpose beyond personal achievement, highlighting how genuine connection and humble curiosity create lasting impact and allow us to embrace life as a continual work in progress.

 Prince is an inspiring voice in his community, known for combining creativity and resilience as he navigates challenges, leadership, and everyday decisions.  His unique approach centres on leading with empathy and embracing one’s journey with radical honesty – never pretending to have all the answers, but instead listening deeply and allowing others to shine.

 So, when was the last time you stepped into a situation without needing to be ‘the expert,’ and found yourself learning something unexpected?  What did you discover by letting go of your assumptions and simply showing up for others?
