Hurt people hurt people.
And when hurt people lead without healing, their pain can seep into the teams they guide, the systems they influence, and the futures they shape. The cost? Disconnection, disengagement, and loss—for everyone.
In my coaching work, I often ask a tender but transformative question: “What happened to you?”
This question, rooted in compassion, opens the door to insight and possibility. It allows us to see ourselves and others not as broken, but as becoming—navigating pain, resilience, and the longing for wholeness.
What’s often more difficult than working with visible wounds is helping those who believe their trauma is what makes them strong—and see no need to heal. But here’s the truth: unprocessed pain leads to hardened habits. And hardened leaders create environments where others shrink instead of soar.
So I ask you: How are you evolving?
How are you showing up with care and love—in your leadership, with your partner, your children, your community?
Being well for the sake of others is not selfish—it’s necessary. It’s the ground of excellent team engagement and of building better lives, together.
Some questions for reflection and dialogue:
• What are two things you do to nourish your wholeness and release what no longer serves you?
• Where might you need support in healing to lead more freely and fully?
• Who are your trusted people—your network of care—holding space with you?
Let’s step into daily practices—prayer, meditation, wise conversations, gratitude, movement—that restore us to ourselves. Let’s lead in a way that transforms systems, not just manages them.
You are part of a network of people working not only to survive, but to thrive—to magnify the beauty, brilliance, and love that still exists, even amidst burden.
