Leaders — asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign you’re human. And it’s how we create the kind of psychological safety and connection that truly transforms our teams.
I joined Matt Poepsel, PhD, on his “Lead the People” podcast to discuss the power of vulnerability, why we tend to resist it, and how our outdated mental scripts — what I call our “Faulty Programs” — keep us stuck in going it alone.
A few truths we covered:
✅ Fear of vulnerability isolates us and limits our impact.
✅ Going it alone drains creativity, stifles innovation, and robs our teams of growth.
✅ Modeling vulnerability as a leader sets the tone for trust, safety, and authentic connection.
This work isn’t a solo journey. It never was.
💡 If you’ve ever caught yourself comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else’s highlight reel, or feeling like you have to have it all together — you’re not alone.
