Dear Inspirational Leaders!
As we reflect on another week of growth and challenges, I want to share with you three pivotal lessons I’ve learned about the transformative journey from wounds to scars. Each of these insights can help guide us as we navigate our roles and influence others. |
|
|
|
1.The Importance of Healing Before Leading:
In my early years of speaking I spoke from fresh wounds. I found in those early days of speaking the reaction from my audience was one of sympathy, however, my goal is to impact and encourage in a positive way. It's not about me—but instead, how can I help, support, and be a beacon of hope for you. I quickly realized how important it was for my personal experiences and challenges to fully mature and heal so that I could truly be an effective influential leader. |
|
2. Transformation Through Shared Scars: Once healed, these scars became powerful tools. Sharing from a place of recovery, I noticed a shift: people no longer saw me as a subject of sympathy but were empathetic. The feedback was an audience member sharing about something they went through or what someone close to them went through. Our scars, when revealed properly, can inspire and mobilize others by showcasing resilience and the potential for transformation. |
|
3. Scars as a Testament to Growth: Scars should be viewed not just as marks of past pain but as evidence of past battles and lessons learned. In my speeches now, people take action because they clearly see the lesson. They internalize it and realize we all have faced challenges and emerged stronger, wiser, and more capable of leading others to their paths of recovery and success.

Action step for next week
Reflect on a personal challenge or setback you’ve experienced in the past. How has this shaped you? Have you allowed it to heal into a scar?
Next week, I encourage you to share this story with someone on your team or a peer. Use this narrative not just to connect, but also to guide, inspire, and perhaps most importantly, to teach. Remember, the most profound lessons often come from our scars, not our wounds.
