My guests on this special holiday episode are Ian Ziskin, Lori Heffelfinger, Bill Baker, lead author and co-contributors to “Lives Lost and Leadership Found.”
During our conversation, Ian, Lori, Bill and I discuss the following:
- The inspiration behind the book "Lives Lost and Leadership Found" and how personal loss can serve as a foundation for personal growth.
- The neuroscience behind grief: how loss rewires your brain and why that matters for leaders.
- What research reveals about the role of intentionality in healing after loss and becoming a stronger leader.
- The power of storytelling and reflection—why writing about a special someone can be transformative
