Drawing on the challenges of feeling marginalized and the importance of resting in God’s love, this episode explores the vital role that self-compassion plays in leadership. Tod Bolsinger shares wisdom on facing anxiety and insecurity, especially when leaders are stepping into the unknown and leaving behind their expertise. Instead of "faking it till you make it," Tod encourages authenticity, resilience, and building trust within a community.
Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Jenai Auman in Ep. 252: Navigating the Pain of Being “Othered”:
"Sometimes I need to experience self-compassion and quell the insecurity within me so I can extend compassion and love to my neighbor."
THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
- Leaders cultivate self compassion to address their own insecurity before extending compassion to others.
- Adaptive leaders acknowledge their anxiety and insecurity rather than suppressing or faking confidence.
- Leaders practice honesty with themselves and those they lead about the difficulties and uncertainties of new challenges.
- Leaders invite trustworthy people to join them in facing the unknown, creating a supportive environment.
- Leaders embrace authenticity and vulnerability as central to healthy and transformative leadership.
