Leading While Healing: How Vulnerability Becomes a Leadership Strength
What if the very thing you’ve been hiding is the source of your greatest strength?
In this episode, Dr. Sharalyn Payne challenges one of leadership’s most damaging myths — that strength means silence. She explores how leading while healing isn’t a contradiction, it’s a calling. When leaders embrace their humanity, they don’t lose influence — they amplify it.
Drawing from research, real-world examples, and her own experience working with world-class executives, Dr. Payne reveals how vulnerability fuels trust, deepens connection, and transforms culture from the inside out.
This conversation will remind you that you don’t have to be healed to lead — you just have to be honest while you do.
