Nice article, Evan. You hit on key points, getting to the truth of the matter.

Here’s the thing about vulnerability, though, and even Brene Brown seems to miss this point. In order to be successfully vulnerable, which literally means the ability to be harmed, one needs to be connected to one’s inner power. That is comprised of our values and qualities that make us great. Most people rely on external sources for their power, and these do not support vulnerability at all.

I have learned this through my coaching clients and my own hard knocks in life.
