Today, we are diving into a topic that often goes unnoticed but has a profound impact on all of us: shame. We are uncovering the layers of shame and how it influences our lives, our drive for success, and ultimately our well-being.
It’s interesting to explore the paradox of shame, an emotion we often try to hide, yet it can paradoxically fuel our ambition and push us towards remarkable achievements. However, it’s important to recognize that this type of motivation, rooted in shame, is not sustainable in the long run.
Jessica Huie, a renowned public speaker, publicist, bestselling author, and former journalist, is our guest for this conversation. She ran her own influential boutique agency, JHPR, for over a decade and now leads her annual Purpose Retreat in Jamaica. Jessica also heads up two self-development programs, Bigger Than A Book and The Purpose Academy, and shares insights about the power of purpose with organizations like Google, EY, Grant Thornton, Virgin Media, and Credit Suisse.
