Episode Notes

Our first thanksgiving since the release of the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report outlining 70 years of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. Gratitude in times of grief and revolutionary change give us fortitude to keep going. In today’s conversation you can find nourishing dialogue, insight, and validation.

Debbie Unterman joins Mike and I to decode the Institutional Playbook For Concealing The Truth from a psychological perspective. She offers wisdom in a way that only she can deliver. You can join us in being lucky recipients. Listening to heartfelt conversations around hard topics can bring even an Ostrich out of hiding and closer in its awakening to the truth! Download

My Thanksgiving Gratitude List

1. I am grateful for my loving, kind, conscientious provider, insightful editor, and compassionate husband, Matthew; who accepts me warts-n-all.
2. I am grateful for our cherished, lovely daughter, Olivia. She surprises us in delightful ways with her sense of humor and wit, her dedication to her goals and gifts, friendships with others, and her generous spirit.
3. I am grateful for Mike Kabeya. His commitment toward excellence, curiosity, encouragement, and wisdom makes each podcast conversation more engaging.
4. I am grateful for each courageous client (both women and men) who have invested in their own growth by hiring me to help them feel more deeply to think, act, lead, and mentor more clearly and effectively. Because, like aging, becoming your best self is not for the weak of heart.
5. I am grateful for each podcast guest, especially Debbie Unterman who models and encourages healthy striving, shows empathy, and offers compassionate conversations every time we talk.
6. I am grateful to you, the thousands and thousands and thousands of you tuning in each week. You have facilitated my own growth as a leader, as a mentor, as a human being. You are my inspiration. I hope you continue to grow in knowing your own value.
7. I am grateful for my friends and family on the journey to grow in our lives together.
8. I am grateful for other leaders in organizations I am a member of. You inspire me to make a greater difference in the world.
9. I am grateful we are together as an avalanche of facts highlighting how messed up our institutions are and being shown the degree of dysfunctional leadership going on. We can talk about it, sort out its implications, and decide what will strengthen ourselves and others.
10. I am grateful there are so many of us learning skills to create cultures with heart. To do this, we are replacing power over leadership strategies of control and domination with expansive power that extends to others that arise from resurrecting power within (practicing skill sets that build inner strength like shame resiliency).

I hope you are inspired to create your own gratitude list. Share it on social media and expand gratitude. Light expands. Also, get the mentoring help you need during this time of awakening.
