What does love have to do with leadership? According to Gabriel Basque—everything.

In this episode of Resilient Humans, I sit down with Gabriel, a coach with over 20,000 hours of experience and a heart deeply rooted in service, faith, and resilience. From surviving a near-death experience at age nine to finding purpose after hitting rock bottom in 2010, Gabriel’s story is proof that leadership isn’t just about performance—it’s about becoming.

We explore what it means to lead with love, how transformational leadership is rooted in who you are (not what you do), and why traditional goal-setting often leads people to chase things that never fulfill them. If you’ve ever questioned your path or felt like you’re striving but not thriving, this episode is for you.

🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The difference between transactional vs. transformational leadership
• Why leading with love means giving without expectation
• How goal-setting can go wrong—and how to realign it with your purpose
• The power of truth-telling and journaling as tools for clarity and healing
• Why we must shift from owning to stewarding our responsibilities

💬 Gabriel’s Definition of Resilience:

“Resilience is a process of consecration—giving away what you were never meant to carry alone.”

🎯 Challenge for Listeners:

This week, journal about one truth you’ve been afraid to speak out loud. Whether it’s fear, shame, or something you’ve been holding onto too long—write it down. Let it be seen. Healing starts with honesty.
