Lachie Samuel: Finding Strength in Vulnerability

I love working with men that are ready and willing to do the work on this stuff.
Imagine growing up feeling like you never quite measured up. That's exactly what Lachie Samuel experienced during his teenage years. In this episode of 'The Boy Behind The Man', host Pjero Mardesic chats with Lachie about his journey from those difficult times to becoming a successful Senior Leader. Lachie opens up about the deep-seated feelings of shame and inadequacy that plagued him, stemming from experiences of sexual abuse.
These feelings followed him into adulthood, affecting both his personal and professional life. But Lachie's story doesn't end there. Through therapy and self-reflection, he managed to break free from negative thought patterns and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Embracing vulnerability became his superpower, allowing him to transform his life and career. The conversation dives into the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership, highlighting how practices like meditation and breath work can enhance self-awareness and stress management.
Lachie also shares the crucial role that mentors and role models played in his journey. The episode wraps up with a compelling message for Senior Leaders: embracing vulnerability and openness can create a supportive and uplifting workplace culture. If you're interested in how childhood experiences shape adult lives or the role of emotional intelligence in leadership, this episode is a must-listen.
