EP3: The Power of Vulnerability - Your Strength in Control

I am afraid of being vulnerable?” Each of us have a story that is messy; we have flaws, experienced failures, have stories of brokenness and we are afraid of sharing this with another person. We see these experiences as weaknesses. If we dare open up, we will suffer rejection and humiliation. We will be judged, talked about and ridiculed. 

On the contrary, we see great leaders taking bold steps, sharing their failures and mistakes on global stages. We watch from a distance, admiring the brave vulnerable ones, while building up a wall to shield ourselves. You don’t dare be vulnerable because you will be called “weak”.

How could it be possible that in the weakest moments of great professionals and leaders they are the strongest?
