Leaderbyte Podcast 10 Letting Go & Leading: Taylor Tagg on Forgiveness

Taylor Tagg offers some practical "how-to" advice on forgiving others. It's a challenge to lead when you haven't let go of something. Taylor helps leaders, business executives and everyday individuals from all walks of life, take those first steps toward actually forgiving someone. We often discuss the "why" of forgiveness but we almost never consider that there may be practical steps to take to actually do it! It's an interesting conversation and you'll find some nuggets of wisdom to apply to your own life here. This episode offers a different perspective, and is definitely another leadership conversation worth having.
