What happens when your deepest personal tragedy reshapes your purpose and transforms your approach to leadership?Harry Bruell spent 25 years passionately leading conservation efforts, growing small regional programs into a nationwide movement. But in 2016, the unimaginable happened—Harry lost his 14-year-old daughter to suicide. This profound loss became a pivotal turning point, compelling Harry to shift his life's mission toward helping individuals facing mental health challenges and disabilities.In this deeply personal conversation, Harry shares with me how his family’s tragedy taught him powerful lessons on empathy, the illusion of control, and the critical role vulnerability plays in authentic leadership. We explore why true leadership isn't about being in control, but about harnessing everyone's unique abilities and insights.Harry Bruell is the President & CEO of PathPoint, an organization that annually supports over 2,400 individuals with mental health diagnoses and developmental disabilities across California. With three decades of nonprofit leadership experience and a powerful personal connection to his mission, Harry has become a transformative voice in advocacy, resilience, and compassionate leadership.Join us as we discuss navigating personal grief in leadership, why empathy and vulnerability are essential in today's organizations, and how leaders can inspire meaningful change in the toughest circumstances.For more about Harry Bruell and PathPoint, check out: https://www.pathpoint.org/Dave Osh is a transformation catalyst dedicated to evolving leadership potential, creating a ripple effect of unity in our divided world.
