Humility and Forgiveness in the White House: Tim Goeglein

"I'm guilty" is not something you hear from the mouths of those who work in politics very often. But Tim Goeglein mustered the courage and character to say them … and that rare immediate honesty taught him valuable lessons to move beyond his self-inflicted crucible.   In his interview with Warwick, Goeglein confesses how he on several occasions plagiarized the work of others for a column he wrote for his hometown newspaper while he was serving as a special assistant to President George W. Bush.   You hear us talk often on the show about how forgiveness – from others and to ourselves – is a critical step to turning what’s been broken into breakthrough. You’ll want to listen to Goeglein recount how the Leader of the Free World forgave him for his actions and the bad press they caused the White House.   Goeglein has continued to live a life of significance, serving as the D.C.-based vice president of external relations for the Christian nonprofit Focus on the Family.   His top takeaway from his journey? “Failure reintroduces you to yourself.” To explore Beyond the Crucible assets, including our free Life of Significance assessment, visit www.beyondthecrucible.com   Have a question or comment?
