The Power of Self-Compassion with Massimo Backus
Manage episode 507225339 series 3487399
In this episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy Meyer sits down with executive coach and author Massimo Backus to explore a leadership principle that’s both radical and profoundly human: self-compassion.
Massimo shares his personal journey—from struggling with dyslexia as a child to building a thriving executive coaching practice—and how a hard truth from his team sparked an epiphany that changed his life. Instead of striving for perfection, he discovered that the key to authentic leadership lies in embracing our humanness first.
Together, Peggy and Massimo dive into:
Why self-compassion is often misunderstood in leadership.
The three core elements of self-compassion: awareness, common humanity, and self-kindness.
How letting go of the “leadership costume” creates trust, connection, and resilience.
The freedom that comes with showing up authentically—for ourselves and those we influence.
Whether you’re leading a company, a team, or simply yourself, this conversation will inspire you to rethink what it truly means to lead.
