In this episode, we explore the life journey of Margo Fowkes, whose unique family dynamics have profoundly shaped her perspectives on longevity, compassion, and navigating grief in personal and professional contexts.

Family Dynamics and Longevity: Margo shares her experience of having a father who was 60 years old when she was born, and who lived to be 102 and a half years old. This generational difference provided Margo with a deep understanding of the passage of time and intergenerational wisdom.
Professional Impact and Non-Profit Governance: Margo reflects on her role serving on a non-profit board and how her background informs her governance style. She emphasizes the importance of empathy and understanding in effective board leadership.
Addressing Unacknowledged Grief: The conversation extends to the impact of unaddressed grief, not only in bereavement but also in other forms such as job loss or organizational change. Margo explores the toll that unprocessed grief can take on individuals and teams.
Impact on Workplace Dynamics: Margo discusses how unacknowledged grief can affect communication, teamwork, and productivity in the workplace. She provides insights into separating personal and professional life while fostering supportive environments for emotional well-being.
Strategies for Communication and Resilience: Drawing from her experiences, Margo offers practical strategies for leaders to communicate effectively during grief and change. She highlights the importance of maintaining boundaries between personal and professional life while fostering a culture of empathy.
