July 17, 2024 • Sharon Spano • Episode 302

Resilience is a vital cog of self-leadership, and empathetic, trauma-informed leadership is the best way to make wiser decisions that positively impact those who look up to you.

Welcome to The Other Side of Potential as today, we unpack the power of resilience and leadership in impacting change and fostering lasting relationships. We are honored to be joined by Malumir Logan, a people-first leader who is driven by the belief that exemplary people-centered leadership and practical high-performing efficacy go hand-in-hand. Her journey through resilience, burnout, and stress-induced medical issues has taught her valuable lessons on achieving sustainable resilience and satisfaction in life.

Malumir joins us to discuss how her significant life experiences shaped her career, and what she now tries to instill in those that follow her. We learn about Malumir's childhood experiences of race and how they affected her relationship with her parents when she first realized that her parent's home was abusive, how she dealt with it, and the moments that bred lasting resilience in today's remarkable guest. Then, we unpack Malumir's approach to leadership, why she always puts people first, how trauma-informed leadership builds safer spaces, and how to balance empathy and accountability as a leader.
