The Anxious Voyage with Mark O’Brien: The Self Regained Part 2

The Self Regained: Brian Kelly Part 2
Twentieth Episode: Brian Kelly, founder of Human Factors Consulting, believed vulnerability meant weakness. That affected the way he saw himself and the way he believed others saw him, leading to his feeling directionless and unhappy; creating unhealthy relationships, especially with himself; and falling short of what he wanted from life, personally and professionally. As his experience grew, he learned vulnerability and other human traits actually empower connections, healthy relationships, and high performance. And he saw the need for more human-centered leadership that values humanity as our greatest source of strength. Please join us for a conversation about re-discovering yourself through grace and acceptance.
