Importance of Vulnerability and Courage

Vulnerability and courage are closely intertwined. Being vulnerable is a prerequisite for courage, as there can be no courage without uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. Brene Brown, a renowned author and researcher, shares that vulnerability is often misunderstood, and many people mistakenly equate it with weakness. However, vulnerability allows us to show up authentically and to take risks even when we are uncertain or afraid. By embracing vulnerability, we can foster courageous behavior both personally and in the workplace.
