March is Women's History Month! This episode features a conversation with LaVonna Roth, an inspirational speaker and consultant whose work has inspired women leaders everywhere. Jenn introduced LaVonna, highlighting her impactful speaking on leadership. LaVonna shared her "S.H.I.N.E." framework, initially for students but powerfully applicable to adults and leaders. SHINE represents Self, Heart, Inspire, Navigate, and Exceptional, focusing on strengths, passion, inspiration, action, and becoming your best self. We explored how this framework resonates with all leaders because of its human-centered approach. LaVonna shared her journey of growth and emphasized the importance of focusing on strengths over weaknesses and overcoming imposter syndrome by recognizing one's inherent value. She offered practical advice related to self-reflection on one's abilities and letting go of perfectionism. We also discussed creating supportive cultures where leaders uplift others, referencing the idea of a "Firefly Effect," where collective support leads to greater success. LaVonna encouraged leaders to be open, collaborative, and to recognize and nurture the strengths of those around them. You can find more about LaVonna and her work at igniteyoushine.com.

LaVonna shares practical tools to help leaders strengthen their confidence, even in the face of tough challenges, while creating environments that foster growth and resilience for their teams. We also take a deep dive into the unique experiences of women in leadership roles, discussing how they can rise above the challenges in the education field and how we can collectively empower more women to embrace their roles as change-makers. Packed with actionable insights and heartfelt advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to elevate their leadership journey and inspire others along the way. About LaVonna Roth: Leaders face external pressures and internal doubts like “What if I'm not good enough?” or “What if I say the wrong thing and lose credibility?” These challenges can leave even the strongest leaders feeling stuck and unseen. This is why LaVonna Roth redefines what's possible for leaders, especially women, who are ready to ditch self-doubt, break through barriers, and step boldly into their shine. With almost 20 years of experience speaking on four continents and partnering with organizations across industries, she guides leaders on an experiential journey through keynotes, leadership summits, and group speaking skills coaching. Through her signature S.H.I.N.E.® Framework and a unique blend of emotional intelligence, brain sciences, and wellness, her relatable and actionable approach helps leaders discover confidence, connection, and clarity. As a self-proclaimed collector of mugs with powerful sayings and an ever-growing love for plants (even if not all of them thrive), LaVonna embraces the leadership journey with warmth, humor, and wisdom gained through a lifetime of lessons (and definitely some mistakes). Her mission is simple: When we S.H.I.N.E., we create a Firefly Effect that transforms lives, workplaces, and communities.

One of the reasons I felt called to start this podcast was because of stories like Donovan and Lavonna Garrett's. If you don't believe God can make a difference in your marriage and family then you need to listen to the testimony of how Donovan's alcohol abuse almost destroyed him, his marriage and his entire family. As I look at the photos of their beautiful family today, I'm in tears, knowing that if Donovan hadn't surrendered his life to Christ, their story would have had a much different outcome. No, they aren't perfect, as none of us are, but they have so much joy radiating from them because of what God has done. If you or someone you love is struggling with alcohol, I promise this episode will encourage and give you hope.

Jennings has charted an unprecedented career in the field, earning accolades along the way, and was most recently named the U.S. Basketball Writers Association's winner of the 2022 Mary Jo Haverbeck Award.

This episode bridges the pre- and post-Title IX era as Dr Sarah and LaVonna welcome UT basketball's Joy Scruggs, one of the first players to experience the game at UT on both sides of the divide. The 5'3” guard grew up in 1950s Chattanooga, an era in which society at large didn't approve of girls playing sports with boys after a certain age. But as a Lady Vol from 1971 until 1975, including playing one season for Coach Pat Summitt, and then as a DIII coach, Scruggs' career puts the seachange of options Title IX provided into perspective. Tune in for more in this foundational episode. 

In this high-octane episode, Dr. Sarah and LaVonna welcome UT legend, Women's Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and 1988 Olympic gold medalist Bridgette Gordon. During Gordon's time in Knoxville, she helped the Lady Vols capture their first two of eight NCAA basketball championship titles; she then translated a sterling student-athlete career into a professional one in Italy and the WNBA before transitioning to work as a coach, scout, and recruiter. Tune in to learn more about Gordon's Title IX story, the meaning of the Lady Vols brand, reflections on the international game, her hopes for the next 50 years of Title IX and more.

In this exciting chapter, Dr. Sarah and LaVonna welcome UT softball standout and former professional player Madison Shipman. While at UT, Madison scooped up records left and right as part of co-head coach Karen and Ralph Weekly's teams, including as vice champions of the 2013 Women's College World Series. Today, she's still giving back to the game in numerous ways, helping younger players to become comfortable being uncomfortable. 

In this exciting chapter, Dr. Sarah and LaVonna welcome UT softball standout Raven Chavanne. The 2011 SEC Champion helped UT softball to some of its finest seasons under co-head coaches Karen and Ralph Weekly, and also propelled Team USA to the podium at the 2014 World Championship (Silver). Tune in as Number 88 shares on leadership lessons, international experiences, and her wishes for the next 50 years of Title IX beneficiaries.

In this exciting chapter, Dr. Sarah and LaVonna welcome two-time Olympic silver medalist,  professional softball player, and one of the most decorated players in the history of college softball, Monica Abbott. While at UT, Monica became the NCAA Division leader in wins, strikeouts, shutouts, and innings - records that still stand today. She also led the Lady Vols to three consecutive Women's College World Series appearances (2005-07), and a runner-up finish in 2007.

This chapter flips the script and turns the spotlight on two-time track and field Olympian, 1989 UT alumna, and IX at 50 co-host LaVonna Martin Floreal. For LaVonna, her time at UT helped enable her NCAA and Olympic dreams, including a silver medal at the 1992 Barcelona Games. But it also reinforced how sports can empower women worldwide, to discover different places and people. 

In this exciting chapter, Dr. Sarah and LaVonna welcome Olympic gold medalist and pioneering sports executive Benita Fitzgerald Mosley. An outdoor hurdles specialist, she became the first American woman to win gold in the 100-meter hurdles at the 1984 LA Games. While at UT, Benita shattered records left and right, winning titles and setting expectations higher for women's track and field at UT and more broadly. 

In this exciting chapter, Dr. Sarah and LaVonna welcome UT softball coach Karen Weekly, who for more than two decades has inspired and inscribed a championship tradition among generations of Lady Vol softball players. Since 2002, Karen's teams have knocked it out of the park, winning titles and setting the bar higher for generations of UT female athletes. 

This chapter continues to lay foundations, as Dr. Sarah and LaVonna welcome Terry Crawford, the first national title winner for any Lady Vols athletic team. A track and field specialist, Terry blazed a path as UT women's track coach in the 1970s and early 1980s, driving the team's–and women's sports at UT more broadly–growth in countless ways.

This chapter is about origin stories, as Dr. Sarah and LaVonna welcome legendary UT Women's Athletic Director Joan Cronan. A former tennis player and multi-sport coach, Joan transitioned to sports administration and from 1983 through 2012 blazed a path at UT, helping women's sports grow in countless ways, including winning 10 NCAA Championships during her tenure.

Key Thoughts from Our Interview with LaVonna Roth LaVonna discussed how the pandemic didn't come with a manual and how we should be careful with the language we use, such as lost year, lost learning. “We need to take a step back and understand what just happened over the last year and a half. We need to survive to thrive, and we need space to transition.” Don't miss the key strategies she provides for when students return. This reminded us of Dan Sullivan's book, Who Not How. LaVonna clearly establishes who should be at the table. Lavonna talked about how educators need to have age appropriate conversations. Check out her free SEL resources. LaVonna uses a structured way to look at situations, and she asks very specific questions: “What was the lesson, benefit, or takeaway?” LaVonna talks about psychological sciences and cognitive psychology. She points to books from ASCD. We also recommend taking a look at Make It Stick, Powerful Teaching, and a company called TeachFX. Don't miss LaVonna's personal hacks for self-care. Become aware of your thoughts. Check out, also, a great book on this topic, Chatter, by Ethan Kross. LaVonna wants to slow down a bit...listen to what she says about it. It reminded us of Essentialism. LaVonna combines learning with self-care to continue to grow as a leader. You'll want to hear this. Her final segment was powerful, vulnerable, and relatable for those of us who struggle with imposter-syndrome and the value we seek to add.

My student called me a racist. At least, that's what I heard. So I tossed him out of the class. As it turned out I was wrong. Now what? Follow: @jonHarper70bd @LaVonnaRoth @bamradionetwork LaVonna Roth is an internationally known learning specialist, author, keynote speaker and consultant. LaVonna taught at the elementary and secondary levels for 10 years, is the author of 8 books and is the creator and founder of the Ignite Your S.H.I.N.E.® movement-where every person is committed to finding, fostering and flourishing, his or her skills, talents, and gifts… to illuminate the world.

Join Phil Boyte and his guest, educational consultant and speaker LaVonna Roth as they talk about little things she has seen while working in schools across the nation. LaVonna shares about the concept of shifting from “my school” to “our school,” how understanding your student’s stories can be so impactful and why taking care of administrators is vital.

LaVonna Roth is passionate, driven, successful, and accomplished. Yet, following what has become a theme among the women I've interviewed, she's human and thus, is challenged at times by her own self-doubt. As the founder of S.H. I. N. E. (an acronym for Service, Heart, Inspire, Navigate, and Exceptional), LaVonna engages teachers and students in “funshops” where they work to reflect on their passions and make plans to accomplish work motivated by the same. LaVonna refers to the dynamic educators with whom she works as Edustars (Educational Rockstars) and works to help inspire teachers while also advocating for teacher self-care — which together leads to exceptional educators. Sitting down to interview LaVonna, I could hear the passion she speaks to in her voice. Lavonna and I covered a series of topics.  Some of the highlights include: (1:11) Our responsibility and obligation as teachers and leaders to put students first and think about what's best for kids when making decisions. (3:58) Facing the challenge of self-doubt and understanding that limiting beliefs only do us a disservice in the long run. (7:00) The need to take a step back and ground yourself in your “WHY” when facing challenges or entering into challenging conversations. (16:45) The need to surround yourself with supporters so you can take risks, knowing that people will be there to support and encourage you no matter the outcome. (20:00) Having a friend who is willing to tell you the truth, even if the truth hurts or is painful to hear. Listening to LaVonna, there is a sense of urgency in her voice. An urgency to listen to the narratives of students, an urgency for teachers to become inspired by being engaged with their most passionate interests, and an urgency to overcome self-limiting internal dialogue to rise above the challenges we face. It's also clear that LaVonna speaks from personal experiences as she acknowledges that we're all just trying to find our own path — herself included. As you listen to LaVonna, think about your path ahead and what actionable steps you can take to further your own passions. Once you reflect, reach out to someone from your support group to engage in a conversation about your plans.
