"Kintsugi: The Art of Embracing Damage," on imPERFECT: Better After Broken - Ep2

Описание: Kintsugi: The Art of Embracing Damage | imPERFECT: Better After Broken - Episode 2

Perfection is a myth. Repair is leadership.

In this episode of imPERFECT: Better After Broken, Jeff Servello and Dr. Susan Hendrich explore the Japanese art of Kintsugi—repairing broken pottery with gold—and what it teaches us about healing, leadership, culture, and resilience. This is not a conversation about flawless performance. It’s about what happens after the break, and how people rebuild trust, credibility, and culture with intention.

You’ll hear real stories, practical frameworks, and direct insights on how to move from fracture to strength—in teams, organizations, and your own leadership journey.

What we cover:

The psychology behind “the cracks” and why silence erodes trust
A clear repair process leaders can use after mistakes, conflict, or failure
Personal and professional case studies, from leadership missteps to organizational recovery
How repaired moments increase psychological safety and credibility
The difference between wounds that linger and scars that teach
Practical Kintsugi leadership practices you can apply immediately

Key message:
People don’t trust leaders because they’re flawless. They trust leaders because they repair what breaks.

If you lead people, shape culture, or are navigating a season of rebuilding, this conversation will give you language, tools, and perspective to turn setbacks into strategic strength.

Featured segment:
A curated “Kintsugi” playlist that follows the arc from break → reflection → rebuilding → integration.
