In this episode of The Deliberate Leaders Podcast, Allison Dunn unpacks one of the trickiest paradoxes in modern leadership — the fine line between vulnerability and oversharing. We’ve been told to “be real,” “be transparent,” and “show up authentically.” But when vulnerability goes too far, it doesn’t build trust — it creates discomfort, confusion, and emotional burden for your team. Allison shares powerful real-world examples of leaders who got it wrong (and right), practical frameworks for strategic vulnerability, and one simple rule that every leader should follow before sharing something personal. If you’ve ever wondered how to be honest without oversharing, this episode will help you find the balance between authenticity and authority — so your leadership builds trust instead of tension.
