How to Discover True Identity and Belonging with Neil JinksHow to Discover True Identity and Belonging with Neil Jinks
Content warning: This episode discusses suicide and mental health challenges. Leadership coaching often raises one tough question: How do I handle this difficult conversation and what do I say because I fear rejection? Imagine the courage it takes to tell your family you’re gay. I’m joined once again by the inspiring Neil Jinks. Following the overwhelmingly positive response to his last podcast, we connected again to talk more deeply. Neil opens up about the challenges he’s faced coming out as a gay man, including moments when suicide felt like the only way out. He shares his pivotal identity moments and how he learned to belong and become the best version of himself. He offers hopeful, practical tips for leading a happy and successful work-life. What You Will Learn: 💡 Discover how childhood experiences and family expectations can shape our adult lives and how to break free from limiting beliefs. 💡 Hear a powerful, honest account of embracing true identity, overcoming isolation, and building a supportive community. Neil’s brave and candid conversation with his father will touch your heart. 💡 Actionable strategies for resilience, self-acceptance, and redefining what success means to you.
