Nikos Psaltopoulos - Empathy

In this episode of Fearless Conversations we are joined by one of Dimitri's life-long friends, Nikos Psaltopoulos, to discuss the importance of vulnerability, empathy, and connection in a fast-paced and often demanding world. The conversation begins with a reflection on the hero's journey as a metaphor for our own lives. The three friends then explore the challenges of navigating bad leadership, the importance of finding moments of renewal and regeneration, and the courage it takes to break away from societal expectations. Nikos shares his personal experiences of transitioning from a corporate career to flying in and out of Athens for work, highlighting the challenges and rewards of creating a life that aligns with his values and priorities. He emphasises the significance of embracing vulnerability and showing up authentically, even when it feels lonely or uncertain. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the importance of cultural connection and the unique experiences of being third-culture kids. The three friends reflect on the power of storytelling and the importance of preserving and sharing our cultural heritage. Tank | Marchfirst | Mentorhub | Totheo Global | The Might Kitchen
