The Sage Sayers: How Do We Not Let Personal Tragedy Make Us Bitter?

My guest this week is Wisconsin-based executive coach Deb Skarda whose brother Rick was murdered  on Father’s Day here in the states. In Deb’s own words: “He was unjustly taken by the hand of another.” Deb’s convinced that her life destiny now must make sense of this tragedy. Her touching post on LinkedIn and other social media asks her audiences to live by her Rick rules, all aligned with this idea of cherishing time with each other over work, money, and not taking the simple things (nor each other) for granted. Hundreds have replied—and many executives, even CEOs. Our interview helps honor Rick, his legacy, and provides a vital and hopeful perspective during the festive holidays and a turbulent world economy.Connect with me, Coach Debbi McCullough, about your group's communication challenges via my LinkedIn profile and website.
