Vulnerability in storytelling and at work is a dangerous endeavor that invites judgment, raw uncontainable emotion, and the perception of weakness. But on the other side of the inherent risks, is an opportunity for brilliance.

Many people talk about vulnerability. Few are actually living it. Are you ready to take the steps to start living a more vulnerable lifestyle through storytelling?
