Show Up and Let Your Vulnerable Self Be Seen

With the life-altering events in today’s society, people are noticing how accustomed our nation has become to not let their most vulnerable self be seen. Whether professionally or personally, there is a deficit of vulnerability that needs to be addressed. As HR professionals, we are the catalyst to help bridge differentiating employees together to discuss sensitive topics within our organizations. However, some lack the courage and empathy to be vulnerable and to lead such change within their institutions.
