While I was putting off my Saturday to do list, I scrolled upon an excerpt from Dr Berne Browns TedTalk on vulnerability that made me stop to find the whole talk. Vulnerability isnt a word that comes up often in business and is often times looked up as a weakness. Berne reminds us that vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change. During the pandemic, we all learned the value of being vulnerable and transparent—it was a necessity. As we continue navigating todays ever-evolving supply chain landscape, we must hold onto that vulnerability. It’s not about fearing mistakes but rejoicing in what we learn from them and sharing it with our teams, our customers and suppliers. Let’s lean into discomfort, shed the armor, and drive the meaningful, sustainable change our supply chains need. #Vulnerability #Leadership #Innovation #Sustainability #SupplyChain

Leaders need the humility to hear.

#FridayMusings This speech by Brené Brown speaks directly to my core. It’s not just words for me—it’s the way I live my life every day. Stepping into the arena, being brave, and daring to be vulnerable takes courage, whether I succeed or fail, but it’s the only way to truly grow and contribute in meaningful ways. I’ve found that the most helpful insights come through genuine connection and rapport. If feedback is shared before that connection is established, it can feel like judgement rather than support. For me, I often hold back from sharing ideas until I know the space between us is real and respectful, ensuring the conversation is productive and helpful. This message is for both the person on the field and the critic. To the person on the field—know that the risk is always worth it when it’s done with heart and purpose. And to the critic—use your heart and have purpose when engaging someone on the battlefield. There’s so much to learn when you simply listen with curiosity and compassion, rather than forming opinions about situations you may not fully understand. #DaringGreatly #BreneBrown #Vulnerability #Leadership #Growth #Authenticity #Empathy #Courage #LiveWithPurpose #ListenWithCompassion #Connection #BraveLeadership #PersonalGrowth #RiskAndReward

Sharing is caring🌿 Have you ever felt the relentless whisper of your inner critic? The voice that holds you to impossible standards, judging every misstep. We often think it protects us, but what if it’s also the very thing standing between us and self-acceptance?

Blind trust is failure

💭The Balance of Practical Wisdom, Love, and Work: A Path to Meaningful Action In a world driven by rules and efficiency, Barry Schwartz reminds us that true wisdom lies in knowing when to adapt, to be human. Practical wisdom is not just about following protocols—it’s about recognizing the nuances of life, guided by empathy, love, and a deep commitment to meaningful work. To lead with wisdom is to understand that love and work are intertwined. Love shapes the compassion we bring to our actions, and work is the canvas where our wisdom is applied. When we blend both, we create solutions that not only solve problems but uplift humanity. In our pursuit of success, let’s not forget the value of human judgment, driven by love and grounded in practical wisdom. #PracticalWisdom #EmpathyInAction #Leadership #MeaningfulWork

Thinking a lot about Blame this morning and it's relationship to scapegoating. There's an excellent short covering Brené Brown's research on Blame that tell us that Blame is the "discharge of discomfort and pain." https://lnkd.in/ddWT2F8G There's a lot of discomfort and pain in the world, and it has been building and shaping into the form we see now for years. The truth is, Blame may discharge those feelings, but it doesn't alleviate the root cause of them. As we all hunker down and grapple with the growing impact of politically-motivated Blame, I think it is critically important that we look at it through the lens of Empathy. It can feel impossible to find empathy with people who seem to hate us — at least I know I grapple with it constantly — but I think we can all connect with the fear of the unknown or worse, the fear of irrelevance. I believe it is important for us to call ourselves and others to step courageously into that fear, to stretch for empathy, to pause before we say "Damn you Steve," and to instead maybe say "I see Steve's fear as I see my own." Little acts of Empathy are what will get us through the future. They may seem small and insignificant in the face of big acts of Fear and Blame, but they add up.
