Lesson 10: Share Your Struggles to Become Relatable | Jefferson Fisher

When you get together for coffee with a friend, how does the conversation go? “Well, here’s my perfect life — how’s yours?” Probably not. More likely, you share your worries, swap hard-won advice, and, as a result, leave the interaction feeling a bit more seen. According to communication expert Jefferson Fisher, openness is what creates a real connection. And it can be a helpful thing to remember at work, too.

In this video lesson, Fisher shares why revealing your struggles doesn’t demonstrate weakness but instead builds connection and credibility
