Massimo Backus's Linkedin Analytics

I am the author of "Human First, Leader Second: How Self-Compassion Outperforms Self-Criticism." As an executive coach, facilitator, and speaker, I champion the revolutionary mindset that self-compassion is a leadership epiphany. My approach challenges traditional leadership norms by emphasizing the importance of being human first and a leader second. With over fifteen years in talent development, I have worked with more than 3,000 leaders in companies like Cisco, Accenture, and Amazon. I hold degrees in Psychology and Organizational Psychology from Claremont Graduate University. I'm also an award-winning documentary filmmaker, passionate father, and husband.
