May 19, 2019 – Leaders Turning Generational Pain into Generational Peace
Rita Marie Johnson explores the transformative power of wholehearted leadership, drawing on Brene Brown's research and personal stories to illustrate how courageous leaders see and call forth potential in others rather than leading from armor and hurt. She contrasts armored leadership - marked by shame, blame, and one-way communication - with courageous cultures where tough conversations are welcomed, truth is spoken with kindness, and vulnerability becomes a strength. Rita Marie Johnson reminds us that true leadership is not about titles but about recognizing the divine potential in people and ideas, inviting each of us to lead from heart rather than hurt and to shine our light boldly into the world.
