- Vulnerability
In this episode, we talk about how vulnerability is capable of delivering great results in your life.
Episode Highlights:
- How vulnerability can shape your life in ways you didn’t think possible. (1:48)
- When you hit rock bottom, become vulnerable and accept your worthiness. (4:17)
- Being vulnerable at home and in the workplace. (5:25)
Key Takeaway:
"In order to move forward and make the necessary changes in my life that were preventing me from growing as a person and as a leader—whatever you want to call it—I had to become vulnerable and truthful with myself and with others. I was failing myself because I didn't want to be vulnerable, but it is entirely up to you to make that change—vulnerability does not come naturally. You must have confidence in your abilities and value because, without fear, there is no courage, and without courage, success is impossible."
