#vulnerable

Anne grew up in a small village in Scotland where a culture of toughness, competition and lack of emotion is not only encouraged, but expected. As a result, not only did Anne grow up with the belief that she had to do it alone, but that it was weak to rely on others for help.

When Anne was diagnosed with breast cancer thousands of km's from her family, just weeks before Christmas in 2020, not only did she realise that she needed the support of others but that it was time to start living her truth. 

An honest, powerful story from a Scottish queen who has a strong message for women everywhere.

Why Vulnerability is essential in Leadership with Mayor Tory Whanau 

Tory Whanau is the first Maori Mayor of Wellington, NZ. She took the time out of her busy schedule to talk to me about leadership, vulnerability and her role as Mayor of Wellington. 

Tory was elected on a platform of change. Her focus is more affordable housing, better public transport, and greater opportunities for walking and cycling. 

Tory is passionate about protecting the vulnerable in our communities and also looking after the planet. She weaves this into all of her day-to-day work as Mayor of Wellington. Tory is also passionate about helping the leaders of tomorrow and teaching them about leadership so that they might have a better world one day. 

Tory will be speaking at Festival for the Future in Wellington on June 8th and 9th. I will also be speaking and facilitating a few workshops. If you are in the area, please be sure to grab yourself a ticket and come say hi!

James Laughlin is a High Performance Leadership Coach, Former 7-Time World Champion, Host of the Lead On Purpose Podcast and an Executive Coach to high performers and leaders. James is based in Christchurch, New Zealand.

In Episode 87, Kudakwashe Mushaike, Founder of Below The Surface, shares a brief and powerful talk from Empovia's (formerly Change Catalyst) third Icon Summit hosted by Icon Project Founder and Empovia (formerly Change Catalyst) Co-Founder, Wayne Sutton. In “Finding Freedom Through Vulnerability,” Kudakwashe tells us how authenticity, freedom, and love play a pivotal role in the journey of understanding vulnerability and how leaning into vulnerability can allow us to experience the world around us more fully. Vulnerability is important as we work to be good allies—and as we ask each other for allyship. We’re excited to share this special session with you.

About Kudakwashe Mushaike (he/him)

Kudakwashe Mushaike is a speaker, poet, software engineer, and the Host and Founder of Below The Surface.

Having lost his father at the age of one, Kudakwashe found himself looking to other men to set an example for him. Challenged by the fact that for most men, conversation merely touches the surface and ultimately, their pain and struggles are experienced in silence, he realized that there was work to be done to shift the culture around conversation amongst men.

Below The Surface was birthed from his mission to build stronger, more vulnerable communities of men through conversation and shared experiences.

In tune with his mission, Kudakwashe speaks to men about vulnerability, growth, and mental wellness

History of medicine is literally being rewritten as the science of the gut is emerging.  Todays practices of over sanitation, and antibiotics will be like the blood letting practices of the past. A challenging discourse today on what if what we believe is wrong.  Be challenged, be informed, and be awesome.
