In this thought-provoking episode of BizBlend, host Avik sits down with healthcare executive, author, and leadership mentor Emily Erstad to explore a leadership dilemma that often goes unspoken—vulnerability vs. transparency. Are you oversharing or truly connecting? Are you being real or just seeking validation? Emily dives deep into emotional intelligence, how to communicate with intention, and why your "why" matters more than your words. If you’ve ever felt too intense, not enough, or just misunderstood as a leader, this conversation offers practical insights and grounded clarity.
About the Guest:
Emily Erstad is a hospice director, indie author of It’s Not That Deep, and mentor to emerging leaders navigating emotionally complex environments. With a background that bridges end-of-life care and boardroom strategy, Emily teaches leaders how to communicate authentically without losing credibility. Her work focuses on emotional intelligence, conscious leadership, and inner alignment.
Key Takeaways:
Transparency is a tool, not a default—use it wisely and with intention.
Vulnerability should be earned, not broadcasted. Avoid sharing with the wrong audience, at the wrong time, or for the wrong reason.
Leadership isn't about oversharing—it’s about being consistent, clear, and human.
Fear often masks the need for connection. Awareness and mentorship are key to navigating tough conversations.
One-on-ones are powerful opportunities to build authentic rapport.
You don’t need to connect with everyone. Discernment protects your energy and builds trust over time.
