The Leader Within podcast with Angela Nguyen

Achilles Tendon Rupture: Leadership Lessons From an Unexpected Setback


Listen Later

In this special 2-year anniversary episode of The Leader Within, host Angela Nguyen flips the script and shares her story—one of setback, patience, and purpose.

 

After rupturing her Achilles tendon during a Muay Thai session, Angela was forced to slow down—a jarringshift for a high performer. What followed was not just physical rehab, but deep leadership insight on decision-making, resilience, self-compassion, and redefining what it means to lead through uncertainty.

 

Through real-time reflections on surgery, recovery setbacks, and psychological growth, Angela explores:

  • The cost of indecision and how delayed action impacts leadership
  • Why rest is not weakness—and when “pushing through” becomes sabotage
  • The importance of trusting your body, your instincts, and the right support systems
  • How adversity can illuminate your core leadership values
  • Why leadership effectiveness isn’t built in the spotlight—but in the gray
