Thinking about this lately: If your "radical vulnerability" causes harm to people or means demanding to be heard at the exclusion of anyone else& #39;s needs or experiences, you& #39;re just prioritizing your needs and dumping your feelings on people without consent.

I would love to know more about the origin of this term - so if you& #39;re done research on this before and feel comfortable sharing, please do. I can think of so many instances where people have innocently overshared and it didn& #39;t land quite right.

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions, everyone! Ione reminded me I had a copy of Brené Brown& #39;s "Dare to Lead" sitting on my bookshelf, so I went away and read it. While there is a lot to reflect on, two quotes seem particularly pertinent here:

"I am not a proponent of oversharing, indiscriminate disclosure as a leadership tool, or vulnerability for vulnerability& #39;s sake" (pg. 35)

"Vulnerability minus boundaries is not vulnerability. It& #39;s confession, manipulation, desperation, or shock and awe, but it& #39;s not vulnerabilty". (pg. 39).
