Summary

How can we start to address unresolved challenges in our lives that impact people profoundly and sometimes in painful ways?

In this episode, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson discuss the podcast's return after a six-month break, and a shift in content to include broader societal and cultural issues. Pat also shares his personal journey of self-discovery, focusing on addressing his own wounds and trauma, and explores how this deeply personal work relates to leadership and organizational health.

Topics explored in this episode:

* (8:04) The Impact of Wounds on Leadership

* How fear can drive leaders.

* (11:58) The Catalyst for Self-Discovery

* Pat’s realization that running from his issues was more painful than confronting them.

* The temptation to deny your own wounds.

* (16:34) The Universality of Wounds

* Everyone has wounds, such as neglect, shame, rejection, and abandonment.

* Healing is a lifelong process.

* (21:14) Encouraging Healing

* Addressing wounds sooner rather than later.

0:00.0	Welcome back to At the Table with Patrick Linchone.
0:18.5	We are so excited to be back and ready to launch a new and
0:21.6	improved version of our podcast after a six-month break. And before I tell you what we've been up to
0:26.8	for the past six months, I'm going to have Cody tell you about what's going to be new with At the
0:31.2	table, beginning with our next episode. Yeah, Pat, happy to be back. And there's bad news and worst news. The bad news is Bo and
0:39.8	Tracy are no longer a part of the conversation. You know, Bo went out and he's working with
0:44.1	leaders and doing consulting and loving that work. And then the worst news is it's a video podcast now,
0:50.2	Pat. So you and I have to figure out what we're going to wear and try to be cognizant of that
0:57.5	without actually giving too much energy and time around that. So that is a big change. We're going to go to
1:03.4	video. We want more people to discover the conversations we're having on YouTube and other platforms.
1:08.3	And then the content of the show is also changing a little bit where, you know, if you think
1:13.0	about it where a lot of our episodes happened within the walls of a company, maybe the last

1:22.7	of the show out to include things that are happening currently in society and culture.
1:27.8	And still with the same, you know, lens that we view everything with in terms of leadership
1:33.0	and organizational health, but sort of expand the playground that we get to have conversations
1:38.5	in.
1:39.4	Yeah.
1:39.7	We're going to talk about things going on in the culture that affect organizations and leaders
1:43.8	and things going on in the culture that affect organizations and leaders and things
1:44.7	going on in society and still within corporations but in a slightly broader way and it'll be
1:50.8	I think it's going to be a lot of fun and I'll say this Pat you've had six months as a inventor
