You Matter, Too: A Conversation on Leadership, Metal Health, and Support Systems

What does it look like to lead when life feels heavy, uncertain, and out of your control?

In this deeply personal episode of Because People Matter, Dr. Helen Fagan is joined by her team—Cindy Conger, Sam Crick, and her husband Scott Fagan—for an honest conversation about leadership, resilience, and the importance of self-care during times of uncertainty.
As Helen navigates the emotional weight of global conflict impacting her family, the group reflects on what it means to lead while carrying personal challenges. Together, they explore practical strategies for staying grounded, including mindfulness, emotional awareness, communication, and building strong support systems.

This episode marks the beginning of a special series focused on helping leaders care for themselves so they can better care for others—because leading like people matter also means leading like you matter.
