Should you be open and honest about your struggles with your team? I get asked this question a LOT. And in today's podcast, I'm going to tackle the subject most leaders struggle with - VULNERABILITY.

As a society, much of the times we view failures and vulnerability as a weakness. We think that if we share our most vulnerable thoughts, emotions, and circumstances we are 'less of a leader' in the eyes of our team.

As leaders, we feel like we always need to look like we've 'got it all together.'

We tell ourselves a false story that those who are vulnerable and share any low points we've experienced in building our business become less credible to our teams.

We associate vulnerability with weakness. And people don't follow or trust weak leaders. At least that's what we tell ourselves.

So, instead, we put on this false mask of lies to the world and to our team that we have ALL the answers, that there have never been any challenges in building our businesses, and that everything is easy and great 100% of the time.

What I want you to realize is this, vulnerability is not only a good idea in your business, it's actually REQUIRED if you want to truly impact and lead people. Being vulnerable actually builds a bridge of connection between you and a team member. It's the ultimate demonstration of strength.

Listen up as I share with you my own story of vulnerability, why it's important to leadership, and how you can empower your team by being vulnerable.
