Heart Led Service And Transformation With TaShun Bowden-Lewis
“I know who I am. I love who I am. I'm proud of who I am. And so, I'm not going to back down.”
In this episode, Nick speaks with Tashun Bowden Lewis, a former public defender and current CEO of Bowden-Lewis Consulting Group. Tashun shares her journey from being a high school athlete to becoming the first black chief public defender in Connecticut and her transition into becoming a leadership and executive coach.
What to listen for:
Human connection is vital in understanding people’s stories
Open communication is essential for overcoming biases
Self-identity plays a crucial role in personal and professional growth
Life's challenges can lead to unexpected opportunities
Trusting oneself and having faith can guide through difficult times
“If you are willing to listen to me and not just judge me based on what I look like or what you perceive my income to be, then we can move some mountains here.”
True progress starts with listening, not judging
Breaking bias opens doors to real collaboration
Everyone has value beyond appearances or status
Empathy can turn divides into opportunities for change
When we lead with curiosity, collective impact becomes possible
“People deserve dignity and to be treated with respect no matter what has gone on or where they come from.”
Respect should never be conditional—it’s a basic human right
Dignity fosters healing, growth, and connection
Everyone carries a story that deserves compassion
Treating others with respect reflects our own integrity
True equality begins with how we see and treat one another daily
