Burnout is loud. Recovery is quiet and intentional. In this episode, author, coach, and veteran journalist John DeDakis shares how real resilience takes shape in workplaces and in life. We focus on practical ways leaders and teams build human-centered cultures that perform without exhaustion.
John outlines a simple vision for change: make space for life so attention returns to the present. Pair experienced employees with newer talent to exchange wisdom and skills. We discuss psychological safety, how ideas get lost in meetings, and what it means to credit voices in real time. The conversation goes deeper into immigrant grit, accent adaptation, and code switching—how it helps people survive and how organizations can lessen its hidden cost.
John also shares his journey with dyslexia, from shame to ownership. He explains how cognitive diversity drives stronger solutions when leaders value different ways of thinking.
Writing connects it all. Memoir heals. Journaling brings clarity. Storytelling turns pain into purpose. John gives insight into writing his memoir, mentoring authors, and teaching interviewing techniques that reveal truth.
You will leave with a plan for sustainable resilience:
• Protect time for recovery
• Build two-way mentorship
• Create inclusive meeting habits
• Use reflective writing to turn experience into growth
Follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find their way back to resilience.
