“Vulnerability” is a buzzword that you hear fairly commonly these days. So, why is it so important in building a business or nurturing a relationship? It can add a level of depth and connection that is difficult to reach without being vulnerable.
For example, when I did my first BETA group for my marriage course called Spark: Reignite Your Marriage, I made one small reference to something personal about myself. Because of that, I received many negative comments telling me that information was irrelevant. My first reaction was that I should take that bit out - but when I did, I had a harder time connecting with people in the next round of the course. The small glimpse into my personal life had allowed a connection between us.
Tune in to the latest episode of the Marriage on Fire podcast where I share this experience and chat with a friend and business coach Lianne Kim about why vulnerability has been essential in her business.
On today’s episode, you’ll discover:
- Why vulnerability is important for being a leader
- The question I was taught to ask during counseling
- Reasons why people hold back from vulnerability
- How to share from a place of service instead of oversharing
- The disconnection that comes from avoiding vulnerability
- The value of attracting and repelling people in content creation
- My rule of thumb for vulnerable conversations - especially with your spouse
I hope that our discussion shows you that putting your authentic self out there can be a rewarding and enriching way to improve your connection with others.
See you next week!
XO,
Amy
