   Now we have Christina Chan on leading with vulnerability!

   As leaders and role models, we have the power and the privilege to create the culture we want to have. We do this by leading by example and leading with vulnerability.

     Four ways to be vulnerable:

     1. Admit what you don't know. Ask for help when you need it.
     2. Share when you're struggling.
     3. Develop and awareness of how vulnerability feels.
     4. Find a friend to practice being vulnerable with. It gets more comfortable the more you do it.

     Vulnerability needs boundaries. It doesn't mean you should freak out and scare people.

     But then she watched Brene Brown's TED talk and read her book. She learned that vulnerability is at the root of building authentic connections.

     Vulnerability doesn't mean that the discomfort goes away. You might still feel anxious and nervous... but you can frame it for yourself as excitement, which helps.

     Christina felt that it was important to project a professional image, and she avoided being vulnerable: she didn't feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, letting her guard down, asking for help.

     But by avoiding being vulnerable, she was limiting the connections and trust she could build with her team–and running straight towards burnout.
