Most leaders are carrying grief they have not named yet. Not always the grief of losing someone, but the grief of a version of themselves they left behind, a business that did not go as planned, a role they outgrew without a clean exit.

Shannon Hurst is a grief educator, author, journalist, and speaker. In this conversation, we get honest about how grief shows up in the workplace, what cumulative cognitive load actually does to your decision-making, and why so many high-performing leaders are operating at a fraction of their capacity without knowing why.

Shannon is the author of My Love Hate Relationship with Death and founder of Gower Media Group.
