Visibility and vulnerability (V&V Energy) is a powerful skill for success as a highly sensitive in business and leadership, yet it can be a tricky one to master. On one hand, it’s direct connection to our HSP shadow of overprotection can have us running for the hills and avoiding it all together. On the other hand, we can make the mistake of sharing unprocessed stories as a way to vent, elicit sympathy, or give an excuse for not taking the actions we need to take to create what we say we want. Both lead to a lack of creating genuine connections – the heart of HSP business and leadership success. Yet, a trained HSP who turns to energy management first as a way to process their emotions and experiences can then embrace true V&V Energy and harness it as a way to create deep meaningful connections with those they are here to serve. In this episode, I share how I came to develop this teaching on Visibility and Vulnerability . I open up about how early into my journey of discovering that I was a highly sensitive person, I came to recognize that many of the women I was coaching were also highly sensitive. And through working with them, I saw a common pattern of these clients not being willing to be seen for their true selves. This pattern of avoidance led me to explore what was needed in order for HSPs to harness V&V Energy as a leadership skill that is so needed in the world right now. Listen in as I dive deeper into what it means to be in true V&V Energy as a trained HSP, and stay tuned until the end for some inquiry questions to help you put a core practice in place that will support you in developing this leadership skill for yourself.   “Your ideal client is a version of you.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 3:25: What is visibility and vulnerability 4:57: Why are visibility and vulnerability important to highly sensitive people 6:01: When and how did the teaching on visibility and vulnerability develop 10:59: How to practice visibility and vulnerability energy 11:35: What does visibility and vulnerability look like as a core practice 15:14: Can an untrained highly sensitive person make good use of the visibility and vulnerability practice   “We need to consciously cultivate a sense of self created safety in being willing to be seen for who we really are.
