The power of vulnerability in teaching, coaching, and mentoring
When we step into the roles of teacher, coach, mentor, or trainer, we step into vulnerability. Sharing our gifts with the world requires us to be present and authentic, risking judgment, rejection, or even failure. But here’s the profound truth: in our vulnerability lies our greatest power.
Teaching, at its heart, is an act of love. It asks us to show up with courage, fully engaged, and open to the possibility of transformation—for both ourselves and those we guide. As Miriam Greenspan beautifully wrote:
“When we are most vulnerable, we are most alive, most open to all dimensions of existence. In our vulnerability is our power.”
Embracing this vulnerability invites us to connect deeply with others, hold space for profound growth, and step into our highest selves. Motivated by love for our subject and those we serve, teaching and mentoring challenge us to rise to our fullest potential.
Explore Your Own Depth and Power as a Guide
If you’re ready to expand your capacity as a teacher, coach, or mentor, I invite you to join my upcoming teleclass, offered in partnership with Depth Psychology Alliance.
TRANSFORMATIVE TEACHING, COACHING, AND MENTORING: TELECLASS
When groups of any size come together for a shared purpose, there is a “third space” of collective wisdom available to draw upon. This intuitive realm of knowing lies beyond our rational minds and holds the key to unlocking profound insights and breakthroughs.
In this experiential teleclass, we’ll explore the deep wisdom that resides within group energy. Together, we will:
- Tap into the sacred wisdom of group dynamics.
- Move through blocks and teaching challenges with greater ease.
- Discover new possibilities for your teaching, coaching, or mentoring practice.
- Revitalize your work with vibrancy and purpose.
As Eckhart Tolle reminds us:
“The Now is deeper than what happens in it. It is the space in which it happens.”
This class will guide you to embrace and engage that sacred “space in which it happens,” where transformation takes root.
