I let my client down

What happens when you let someone down — and instead of defending yourself, you open your heart?

In this episode of Achieve From Inner Peace, Dr. Matthias Hombauer shares a real story of failure, vulnerability, and repair. He let his client down twice. But what followed wasn’t conflict — it was connection.

Through slowing down and having an honest, emotional conversation, Matthias discovered a deeper truth about leadership: trust isn’t built by perfection. It’s built by presence, awareness, and courage.

This heartfelt reflection explores what happens when we stop defending ourselves and start listening — when we allow tears instead of tension, honesty instead of excuses, and compassion instead of control.

Because true leadership doesn’t happen in the moments where everything works perfectly. It happens in the moments where it doesn’t.
