Episode #48: When Grief Meets Performance: The Leadership Conversation We Avoid w/ Diandra Ford-Wing https://youtu.be/WIgWNx9yiR4

In this episode Dr. Dee sits down with Diandra Ford-Wing for the conversation many leaders avoid—but every organization needs: what happens when grief meets performance. Diandra shares how workplaces and campuses often expect professionalism without providing language, space, or support for loss, burnout, and transition—and why that silence quietly erodes culture, trust, and results. You’ll hear practical insight for leaders who want to support people through hard seasons without lowering standards: how to lead with emotional intelligence, maintain clarity and accountability, and create environments where people don’t have to choose between being human and being effective. This is real talk for executives, entrepreneurs, and high-responsibility professionals who are carrying weight privately while still expected to deliver publicly. Diandra will also be a featured speaker at UNBOUND™ — Protecting the Leader Behind the Mission, the one-day executive convening and awards experience hosted by Dr. Dee on Saturday, March 21, 2026 (9:30 AM–6:00 PM ET) at Marriott JFK Airport in **New York City.
