Anne DeButte

Welcome, listeners, to a very special holiday episode. Today, we're going to be delving into a topic that's near and dear to my own heart as I attempt to find the essence of the holidays. We will be exploring the true meaning and experiences surrounding this joyous season and how you may be able to cope, especially when you're grieving.

Hello, I'm Anne, your host, and today we have a very special guest joining us, Matthew Brackett. He's a remarkable individual with a device background of international experience. He lends his expertise and unique perspective to leadership, education, and spirituality. 

Matthew's journey has taken him across many continents, serving once as a Catholic priest and even as a staff officer and chaplain in the United States Navy. He's also known for his ability to guide and inspire. He's also spent over three decades in the field of personal, professional, and intercultural leadership development. And he's also got a wicked humor. Now, you're beginning to see more and understand why I am eager to delve into this topic with them.

But there's a little bit more I want to share about Matthew; you see, he's not only a versatile coach, advisor, mentor, educator, and confident, but Matthew says he's like a human version of a sophisticated Swiss army knife. We'll hear more of that in a moment. He's now turned his attention to offering invaluable support to senior leaders and helping them navigate the complexities of their lives so that they can lead, love, and live better lives. You may have heard him on our show before. He is a frequent guest on many other podcasts. And we'll be diving into some of these important topics that will resonate deeply with you all during the holiday season.

 

Here's what we talk about:

  • Matthew's transition from priesthood to leadership coaching marked a transformative journey.
  • What coping strategies can individuals employ when grappling with the memories of a loved one's passing during the holiday season?
  • Appreciating the true meaning of Christmas enhances the holiday experience.
  • How can leaders balance creating a festive atmosphere for their teams while acknowledging their own grief during the holidays?
  • And much more!
