About this video

This is a keynote address about the role of vulnerability in building professional success and connections. The speaker uses personal anecdotes—from playing karaoke with coworkers to her early career experiences—to illustrate how admitting what you don’t know, being authentic, and supporting others (especially women in leadership) creates stronger teams and drives career advancement.

Key takeaways

• Vulnerability and authenticity create genuine connections with colleagues; the speaker’s willingness to admit knowledge gaps early in her career at Be Free helped her build strong relationships that enabled her to navigate challenges successfully
• Women in the workplace must actively speak up and support one another through both big gestures and small moments like nodding in meetings or offering encouragement, as women remain significantly underrepresented in executive roles
• Leaders who see potential and character rather than gender—like Jim, who promoted the speaker to president—can unlock talent and drive organizational growth; diverse perspectives from different voices improve decision-making
