Amiel Handelsman opens up about his personal experience of loss and grief and how he found healing power in his discovery of positive psychology. Amiel discusses the importance of acknowledging and expressing grief, particularly for men and removing the taboos. He shares his experience of losing his first child in the hospital after a preterm live birth and the feelings of isolation that were compounded by the stress of several rounds of IVF and miscarriage for him and his wife. Amiel took this experience to a lecture hall, telling medical students about his experience and the power of apology.
Amiel also shares his professional perspective on shifting our thinking to develop sustainable strategies and innovative solutions. He shares his journey into executive coaching and highlights recurring themes in his work, such as managing emotionally charged situations and adapting to change. Amiel talks about deliberate practice and its application in leadership development. His podcast, 'How My View Grew,' explores the importance of injecting nuanced perspectives to solve complex problems.
