Today we have with us Edson O’Neale who will give us a sneak peak at his presentation on vulnerability. As a leaders, we tend to avoid vulnerability because we are scared of being viewed as weak, but we fail to realize the real power of vulnerability in leadership. Being vulnerable is also the key to attracting more leaders into your organization. Leading by example, Edson will show vulnerability and share his journey on how he became the person and leader that he is today. By sharing his journey, Edson will work with you on sharing your own journey and finding your true leadership style. In finding your true super power, it will help you to effectively communicate with other students, administrators, family, and much more.

We discover how to: 1. Discover the traits of a good leader. 2. Explore your leadership style. 3. Investigate the importance of vulnerability. 4. Develop the ability to share your own story. 5. Illustrate the importance of opening up to those around you. 6. Analyze different ways of communicating how you feel. 7. Discuss how we can start feeling comfortable by being uncomfortable. Enjoy!
