For readers of Brené Brown and Adam M. Grant, this radical book teaches us to foster healing, compassion, and communication to forge stronger professionals and organizations.

Each of us carries wounds in our bodies, minds, and spirits that can hinder our lives at work and at home. How do we manage these pain points, overcome our fears, and come out stronger on the other side?
Kathy Hagler, industry-leading business consultant and organizational healer, is no stranger to these questions. Drawing on her own remarkable journey through loss, as well as the philosophy of kintsugi—the Japanese art of repairing pottery and appreciating its imperfections—Art of Scars is the modern professional’s guide to personal, professional, and organizational healing.
Hagler’s insights, taken from three decades of work with organizations of all sectors and sizes, guide you through the journey of healing. Art of Scars teaches how to pinpoint the roots of pain, suffering, and distress in your organization and its people, and offers strategies to repair the damage.
Whether you are an individual or an organizational leader, this book will help you start essential conversations and create a path to strength, resilience, and lifelong growth.
