A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video (Will Humphreys) discussing how leaders lack safe spaces to express vulnerability. The speakers note that leaders often cannot share fears or struggles at home or with employees, and that coaching/peer settings provide a unique place where they can be candid.
How did we do it? Holy crap. We're crazy enough to do this again.
Yeah, well, and, and you're going to hear as a coach or I hear somebody say, I've never shared that with anybody.
Yeah.
This is the only place I can talk like this because look, I can't go home and say and I had a crappy day. I think I'm going to lose this business.
Yeah. Okay.
My home doesn't want to hear that message.
No, they do not.
My employees don't want to hear that message.
If anything, it causes problems. Now you have to put time and attention on.
Yeah, exactly. And so it's a place where you can show up and just be. Yeah. I don't care if it's a hot mess. I don't care if you're just celebrating whatever success it is. But it's a place where you can be.
