OPEN UP: The Value and Importance of Vulnerability with Tim Clarke, Part 3

Peak Performance Selling

STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS

While a lot of people have a stigma of vulnerability being a sign of weakness, but for Tim Clarke, vulnerability is something that leaders and colleagues should have alike. Tim and Jordan discuss the importance of giving room for vulnerability in the workplace and that people who are opening up should not be questioned or treated differently. In line with this, people are starting to move to jobs where they can be open about their state of mind and be listened to. Stay tuned as Tim also shares some light on the misconceptions about mental health, only here in the latest episode of Peak Performance Selling.

PEAK PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS:

TIM: PEOPLE WANT TO BE CARED ABOUT

“People are moving. People want to work for not only a company, but we're for someone, a manager who cares about mental health. And so I think every leader on here right now should be considering, okay, what am I doing for mental health? What am I doing for vulnerability, not only to attract talent, but to retain talent as well.”

TIM: VULNERABILITY SHOWS TRUTH AND CONNECTS

“Vulnerability is just what opens up the door for people to see more of who we really are and to connect.”

TIM: #1 MISCONCEPTION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH

“The first one that comes up to me is mental health equals mental illness, whereas mental health could equal mental wellness.”
