  • Vulnerability is a Super Power

    I talk a lot about learning that my vulnerability is a super power over the past five years. One thing I still get hung up on is when/how to be vulnerable at work.

    According to Culture Works HR, 60% of Americans struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives.

    Quora says that vulnerability is natural and should be embedded within any company’s culture. “It creates trust and promotes acceptance and empathy when giving and receiving feedback. It also helps with effective problem solving and decision making.”

    According to Toner Buzz, 85% of companies that offer work-life balance programs report an increase in productivity, while 33% of employees with a good balance say they plan to stay longer in their current role.

    The fear of making connections and being vulnerable can stem from various sources, such as past traumatic experiences, fear of rejection or abandonment, low self esteem, or a lack of trust in others. This is true whether in your personal or professional life.

    So how can you change that?
    -Focus on building self awareness;
    -Practice active listening;
    -Share your thoughts and feelings appropriately;

    Do you have a difficult time being vulnerable? Try a few of these to help get you started.
