85: Leading Through Loss: How to Navigate Grief in Business with Dr. Lynda Reid
Grief in leadership is real—and most entrepreneurs don’t get a playbook for it. In this powerful conversation, TEDx speaker and transformational coach Dr. Lynda Reid joins host Amy Schutte on Business Origin Stories to talk about navigating grief, burnout, and big life pivots while still leading teams and companies with clarity.
Drawing on neuroscience, Positive Intelligence® (saboteurs vs. sage) and her M.O.R.E. framework (Meaning, Owning, Relationships, Emotions), Dr. Reid shares how to move from the reflexive “yeah, but…” to a confident “hell, yes.” She also offers grounded practices for staying present in hard seasons, supporting grieving colleagues, and rebuilding momentum in your business after loss.
You’ll learn:
- Why grief isn’t “stages”—it’s a lifelong companion and how to work with it, not against it
- The most common leadership saboteurs and how to quiet them in real time
- A simple tactile exercise to reset your nervous system during tough meetings
- How founders can hold results loosely (and still hit goals)
- M.O.R.E.: a practical lens for meaning, identity, relationships, and emotional fluency in business
- Language shifts that change pricing confidence (e.g., “I receive” vs. “my price is”)
If you’re an entrepreneur or leader navigating loss, change, or uncertainty, this episode will meet you with honesty—and real tools to keep going.
