The Spark (the light through your wounds)
quote
"The wound is the place where the light enters you." Rumi
This Rumi's quote reminds us that adversity and challenges are not to be feared or avoided but embraced as opportunities for growth and transformation. It speaks to the profound potential for self-discovery and resilience that emerges from our struggles. When we face our wounds with courage and vulnerability, we create space for healing, the emergence of new insights and the discovery of unknown strengths.
The wisdom lies in recognizing that leadership is not immune to challenges and setbacks. However, it is through these wounds and hardships that one can find wisdom, compassion, and strength. Our vulnerabilities should serve as catalysts for growth and allow us to empathize with the struggles of others, fostering a culture of support and resilience within our teams.
By acknowledging our vulnerabilities and sharing our journeys of healing, we create a safe and supportive space for our teams (friends, family, children, partners) to do the same.
Lead yourself, Learn to live. Lead others, Learn to Build.
