ITTA Episode 2 Be Vulnerable

In this episode of the It's Time to Adapt series, Tracy Y. Washington from the Relationship Leadership Philosophy and Radiance Real Talk host, Carole Burton of Radiance Resources, explores the power of vulnerability. We're inviting you to consider what it means when we, as leaders, choose to be vulnerable to be present in a situation. When leaders choose to be vulnerable, we permit ourselves to be uncomfortable yet open to grow and evolve. We address questions such as, "What is our business Breaking Point?, What is the turning point?, Are we stuck?,  What do I do? or What was my role that got us here?" We pose alternative questions such as "Where am I?, What am I?, Where do I sit with all this?" We talk about how being vulnerable means leaders need to have tough conversations. One person may not have all the answers. Being vulnerable opens us to let go of being in control, carrying shame, or embarrassment, and pride. We allow others to contribute. Hence we empower others to lead.

A listener committed, "The discussion on vulnerability makes you think about when and how you are vulnerable as well as how it helps the situation. If you sometimes choose not to be vulnerable, ask yourself why."

Think about, talk with others, and share. Welcome to Radiance Real Talk.
