Episode 101: Rev. Michael Sean Harvey, MSOD, MSEd & His Book, Warrior Compassion: Unleashing The Healing Power Of Men

ABOUT SEAN

Sean is a TEDx Speaker and founder of Warrior Compassion Men’s Studio. Sean is an Interfaith Minister whose book, Warrior Compassion: Unleashing the Healing Power of Men offers a roadmap for men’s soul-healing as a catalyst for systems change. Sean brings 25 years of experience in leadership and organizational development consulting and taught organizational behavior and change at Cornell, NYU, and Baruch College CUNY. His work focuses on deepening compassionate humanity into hyper-masculine systems and developing leaders as emergent facilitators, compassionate bridge builders, and conscious change agents equipped to transform systems and heal cultures on a global scale. His current research focuses on facilitating bridges across polarized divides.

CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

• When Sean was asked to show his heart instead of his polish.
• Sean’s pillars of authenticity, connection, and purpose.
• The messaging for healthy masculinity, for deeper connection, for healing, and for breaking down the walls of isolation and disconnection.
• “You’re not broken, but you might be wounded.”
• “We’ve had toxic conditioning and faulty teaching.”
• When we’re born, we have everything within us.
• Where shame breeds.
• “Let’s stop saying what the answer is and start creating a set of questions for men to be in their own inquiry, to discover their own truth of who it is that they are that reflects their journey, that honors who they are, and that moves from a place of self-loathing of the ways that they’re not measuring up to self-love for gratitude for who they are.”
• The two things we can’t do when talking about men’s healing, men’s Growth, men’s transformation.
• The power of seeing someone’s humanity even if you don’t agree with or abhor their views.
• he need to get out of the over-intellectualization we do on most topics.
• The four existential question in every one of Sean’s engagements.
• The difference between learning how to behave vs. learning how to be.
• How do we heal the wounds that hold us back from being compassionate?
• The Shame Spiral

The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Sean is, What kind of wounds do you need to address and heal in order to move forward with your life and live your truth?
