Jennifer Gaudet argues that leaders and coaches should share personal pain and emotional experiences with clients. When you're vulnerable first, clients feel permission to be vulnerable too, which clears emotions, strengthens rapport, and enables deeper transformation.

I grew up with. You leave personal at home, and it's all business at work. And I. And I was that person in sports medicine. But I've learned that you don't have to be that person. And actually, to be the best leader that you can, you have to be able to talk about the emotions and empathize with your teams so you can clear the emotions. If we don't clear the emotions, we can't move forward in a way that is powerful. And so I think that when you're able to actually get vulnerable with other people and with your clients, specifically as a coach, what that does is that gives them permission to get vulnerable back with you. And I think that's where the real power is and the real transformation is. Is when we share as coaches. And I'm sure you see the same thing because you move in transformational spaces as well. When we're able to share our pain points and how we were able to navigate through them and connect on that emotional level, it gives them permission to do the same, and they feel more comfortable. I, you know, I. I just. I feel that's really a superpower that. That coaches have been through. It can. Can. Can have that level of. Of rapport.
