Dr. Alejandro Poire Romero – Navigating Tough Decisions with Empathy

Many of our listeners feel the weight of real responsibility—they're leading teams, raising children, navigating visibility they didn't always expect. And if you're doing that work while your country is in crisis, while you're watching democratic institutions strain under pressure, you're carrying something heavier. Imagine holding the weight of decisions that affect thousands of people, all while you're trying to be a steady parent, a present partner, a human being underneath the role. How can you lead with integrity when the system itself feels like it's failing?Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs. Today I'm joined by Alejandro Poiré Romero, a Mexican political scientist and former Secretary of the Interior of Mexico who has spent his life thinking about how democracies work—and how they break. He's also a father who has navigated profound personal transitions while serving at the highest levels of his country's government. His story reveals something essential about leadership under pressure: the personal and political are never separate.Information about Alejandro: https://tec.mx/en/our-faculty/ecsg/alejandro-poire?srsltid=AfmBOorZNrEPSbxDLLyNbspdxQuYdvQgaQF8wj9zkhhPtTH3z_5MD827ReSocial and Anthony Silard:·         ReSocial on ABC/KMET with podcast links: https://www.kmet1490am.com/resocial·         Anthony Silard’s Latest Book Love and Suffering: https://amzn.to/42kjCE3·         Anthony Silard Amazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/48Drq8e·         Two Free Books by Anthony Silard: https://bit.ly/3Rajkuw·         Managing Loneliness Video Course with Anthony Silard: https://theartoflivingfree.org/course-managing-loneliness/·         Connect with Anthony on:o    Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-silard-a305516/o    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anthony.silard/o    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthony.silard.3
