Lesson I Learned Through Funeral –
It’s About Your Huddle- Community

In a funeral, we celebrate the journey and life of an individual. Though it is a way to say goodbye, we let them go in our little ways. What about those people who are just there for the show?

In this episode of Run Toward The Roar, John talks about Lessons he learned through Funerals he attended. We also learn about practicing graciousness and mercy when dealing with toxic people and stressful moments, and the importance of building meaningful relationships and your own huddle group to help you thrive.

About John Robertson

John Robertson is one of the leading Coaches, Consultants, and Speakers that Leaders in the workplace look to “when things start to feel like they’re falling apart” due to issues with their staff, support systems, and company “ethos” (character and habit driven behaviors that either make or break an organization during times of crisis).

Driven by a “recognition of others’ strengths” and a deep-seated faith in their ability to find their way through even the most challenging of times— John creates an intensely inspiring environment for recovery, optimization, and triumph.

With over 30 years of experience leading large groups through his involvement in the church alongside shepherding public-service organizations (such as Townships, Firefighters, Police, and First Responders) through their own points of crisis and transition, John is counted on time and time again as “the steady voice of reason during even the most challenging of storms”.
