"Dare to Lead: Drop the Armor. Make the choice to live and lead with an unarmored heart."
After working with corporate leaders for 33 years and 8 years studying Brené’s research on shame, courage and vulnerability...one thing is true...we all self-protect when we are uncomfortable and we call this self-protection, armor. Armor is the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that we use to protect ourselves when we aren’t willing to lean into vulnerability. It moves us out of alignment with our values, corrodes trust with our colleagues and teams, and prevents us from being our most courageous selves. Metaphorically, armor is heavy, bulky, and it gets in the way. With it on...we can’t see each other for who we really are...if we want to connect we need to remove it. It may be daunting to do that but Sandy teaches you that it's worth it in three simple, but not easy steps:
- Gain awareness of what armor is and how it holds you back.
- Take responsibility for your armor and your impact.
- Learn courage-building skills to help you be a braver leader.
THAT’S what shifts cultures.
