Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!

Welcome back, listeners, and hi to our new ones who found us on YouTube. This is a new adventure for the Let's Talk About Grief podcast. Please like or comment, especially if there's a topic that we haven't covered and you would be interested in exploring.

Today, we're going to be talking about navigating grief when you're a highly competent woman in a leadership role. And even if you're not, or you don't recognize or let yourself feel that you're a highly competent woman, rest assured that you all are. Our guest will have wisdom nuggets that will apply to everyone. So please stay with us!

I am thrilled to chat again with Debra Woog, a crisis navigation partner with 30+ years of experience as a leadership researcher, executive, and advisor. Her research was carried out primarily at Harvard Business School, and she's also the researcher of an award-winning book. Her work has been featured in Forbes and other large publications. Needless to say, Debra's accomplishments are outstanding!

 

Here's what we talk about:

  • Debra's experiences navigating personal crises while maintaining a successful career.
  • The importance of resilience, communication, capacity, and community support during challenging times.
  • How does Debra help her clients communicate effectively and make decisions during crises?
  • Strategies that can be employed to motivate clients to engage in self-care and seek respite during challenging times.
  • And much more!

 

 About Debra:

I’m Debra Woog (pronounced like “Vogue”). I work from my home office in Arlington, MA, as my two terrific teenagers attend school. By nature, I am a connector and a community builder. Connection and community are essential in a crisis. As a leader who has navigated my own unanticipated challenges, I know first-hand the value of smart, collaborative expertise, especially for women who feel solo in life or work. As supremely capable as we are, we are even better when we cross difficult roads together.

With a B.A. in psychology from Wellesley College and an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management, I am able to provide both emotional and practical underpinnings for problem-solving, including research, resource matching, and communication strategy. I’m here for you.
