Episode notes
Armor vs. Fear
- The greatest barrier to daring leadership is not fear, but the armor we use to protect ourselves.
- This armor prevents us from being vulnerable and courageous, hindering trust, innovation, and accountability.
The Armored Heart
- Brené Brown uses a metaphor of heavily fortified movie scenes to illustrate how we protect our vulnerability.
- Like navigating traps and security measures to reach a treasure, we build layers of armor around our hearts.
Wholeheartedness
- Wholeheartedness involves integrating our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, rather than compartmentalizing them.
- This requires putting down our armor and embracing our complex, messy selves.
