Expanding Our Capacity to Trust - a podcast by Mike Robbins
from 2017-05-09T07:00
In this week’s solo episode, I discuss trust and how we can expand our ability to trust. Many of us believe trusting is naive. We spend a lot of time and energy shielding ourselves from being embarrassed, taken advantage of, or compromised. But, what are we really protecting ourselves from? Vulnerability is power, and trust is a generating energy. What would happen if we learned to embody trust and lead from a place of trust? How would our lives be different?
Key Takeaways:
[1:06] What does authenticity mean?
[3:42] Being a leader means we go first.
[6:50] How much time and energy do we spend protecting ourselves?
