How Grief, Stress and Cognitive Load Impact Leadership and Life

Most leaders are carrying grief they have not named yet. Not always the grief of losing someone, but the grief of a version of themselves they left behind, a business that did not go as planned, a role they outgrew without a clean exit.

Shannon Hurst is a grief educator, author, journalist, and speaker. In this conversation, we get honest about how grief shows up in the workplace, what cumulative cognitive load actually does to your decision-making, and why so many high-performing leaders are operating at a fraction of their capacity without knowing why.

Shannon is the author of My Love Hate Relationship with Death and founder of Gower Media Group.
