In the context of leadership, Brené Brown defines vulnerability as the emotion we experience during times of risk, uncertainty, and exposure. It's not about winning or losing, but about showing up when the outcome is uncertain. Vulnerability is not a sign of weakness and it's not something we can avoid. As humans, we are hardwired to connect with others. Trust and vulnerability grow together, over time. If we avoid connection and shield ourselves from feedback, we stop growing. If we define ourselves by what others think of us, it's hard to be brave. But, if we stop caring about what anyone thinks, we're too locked away in our armor to make authentic connections.
