How do we live into our guilt, not allowing it to take over our lives?  How can emerging leaders help their team members when they are feeling guilty?Fear not!In this episode, you’ll hear from a group of professionals from diverse and extensive backgrounds.  You’ll hear from guests who gave it all up to follow their passions, the guilt about following their dreams, overtaking them.  You’ll hear from life and leadership coaches, and how they manage the guilt of being parents while also being professionals in their fields.  You’ll hear about how guilt can force us to work harder, work faster, work meaner, all to cover our own self-loathing at ourselves and our guilt.And it’s their stories, their admissions of guilt and how they navigated through these feelings, coming out the other side, that will help emerging leaders see, understand, and work within their guilt.  Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been listed in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts in 2021.Relevant Episode Links:Due to the large size of the group, please head over to www.trenchleadership.ca for links to contact each of the guests.Support the showTrench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been named #5 in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts for 2025.Connect to Trench Leadership:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYnaqOp1UvqTJhATzcizowATrench Leadership Website: www.trenchleadership.caLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/trench-leadership-a-podcast-from-the-front/?viewAsMember=trueAre you looking for a podcast editor/producer?
