virtuosity August 2020

A friend asked me recently, how does leadership from experience come about, what characterises it – thinking of her experience of trauma. which I see her already uses with virtuosity, I replied:

What comes to mind is a situation recently where I was asked to advise someone dealing with pain, confusion and a labyrinth of legal pitfalls of applying for Continuing Healthcare for an aging parent (in the UK). There is a sense of life in its complexity – pain and beauty is in front of me, at the same time I am in the middle of it, with a sense of clarity. Funny, I have called it virtuosity, even for myself – being tone deaf I am not sure how I came to choose a term from music…

life singing

in a broken –

me
