Kim Dechaine, Gen X, joins us to talk about the fearless face of depression as part 4 of our 4-part series about the book Fearless Female Leaders by Kathy McAfee and Rosemary Paetow (Eps, 182, 183, 184).

Kim is a recognized international speaker and facilitator who specializes in empowering professional women to stay in their leadership roles with more ease and joy, by navigating and preventing overwhelm and burnout. Through her journey with depression and suicidal thoughts, Kim has learned one important truth: we are Human-BEINGS, not Human-DOINGS. Her passion lies in providing workshops and leadership programs to businesses and organizations that focus on mindfulness, self-leadership, and productivity.

Topics covered in the Episode:

Here are three takeaways from the episode:

1.    Values in leadership, especially having peace and calm in our heart, when it comes to decision making, it might be a lightness leading to a “Yes”.

2.    Women in leadership have a special gift of intuition – pausing in that peace and calm can help us listen to that intuition. Both are intertwined. We have to learn to

3.   Self-awareness and shifting ourselves is #1 to be fearless leaders – it starts with us. Compassion helps us lead from our heart. We have to be able to listen and to listen we need to pause.

Reminder: No one has 100% mental health. It’s a practice. We need to prioritize it.
