The Leadership Wound Podcast

The Hardest Person You’ll Ever Lead Is You: (Part 2: Feedback & Vulnerability)

Episode Summary

Here’s what we explore: • Why feedback feels threatening — and how to reframe it • The real reason leaders avoid feedback (and what it costs us) • How projection shows up and distorts truth • The 3 internal stories we tell ourselves to avoid vulnerability • What it looks like to receive feedback as information, not identity • How to use discernment + self-awareness as a feedback filter ✨ The truth?
