Leadership, Grace, and Healing: A Raw Conversation After Crisis
On this episode of the McCoy Leadership Podcast, we got real about the power of grace, community, and vulnerability in leadership. I opened up about a recent personal tragedy and how the support, forgiveness, and empathy from those around me helped transform pain into purpose. Joined by the insightful Traci Austin, we discussed how offering grace—to others and ourselves—builds true belonging, drives growth, and strengthens teams. If you’re ready to lead with impact, remember: don’t isolate. Lean into your community, be intentional, and start making positive change today.

Here are three key takeaways for anyone looking to elevate their leadership impact:
Grace starts with yourselfBefore you can extend grace to others—at work or beyond—you have to learn how to offer it to yourself. Self-forgiveness lays the foundation for authentic, empathetic leadership.
Isolation vs. CommunityWhen hardship strikes, you have a choice: to isolate and grow bitter, or embrace community and become better. Healing, growth, and transformation almost always happen in connection with others.
Intentional Daily ChangeReal change in leadership and life comes from making intentional shifts—no matter how small—every single day. Whether it’s how you build your team, practice gratitude, or seek help, don’t wait for tomorrow to start. Begin today.
