What if the traumas and challenges you've faced aren't just obstacles to overcome, but the source of your greatest leadership strengths? In this transformative conversation, I sit down with Corinne Kavanaugh, an audacious resilience expert who flips conventional wisdom on its head.
Corinne shares her powerful journey from a childhood marked by her mother's untreated bipolar disorder to becoming an author, entrepreneur, and Harvard graduate. Rather than hiding her past, she's now helping others recognize how their own difficult experiences have equipped them with exceptional leadership capabilities. The research backs this up – trauma integration creates leaders with heightened empathy and emotional intelligence because they understand pain and struggle firsthand.
We explore practical frameworks for "flipping the box" on how we view our challenges. From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques that reframe limiting beliefs to post-traumatic growth questions that accelerate healing, Corinne offers actionable tools that anyone can apply.
For business leaders, Corinne provides game-changing perspective on hiring and team building. Rather than viewing candidates with difficult backgrounds as "damaged goods," she explains why these individuals often make exceptional leaders precisely because of their resilience. Their neural pathways for crisis management are well-developed, allowing them to quickly shift from challenge to opportunity.
Whether you're navigating personal trauma, leading a team through difficult times, or supporting someone on their healing journey, this episode offers a profound reframing that will transform how you view life's challenges. Tune in to discover how being "audaciously resilient" can become your greatest superpower.
