Protect Your Patch
Welcome to the Protect Your Patch podcast where we talk about all things that drive meaningful change through intentional actions, hosted by Dr. Mike Smith, former First Sergeant of the Air Force Thunderbirds and a corporate leader in Berkshire Hathaway Energy, and Rich Baron who is a master certified executive coach and Director of Culture Transformation and Training for John Mattone Global. With over 50 years of combined experience and leadership, we will discuss the important aspects of focusing on the foundation of getting back to the basics. So leaders and organizations can redefine who they are to recreate their legacy.
Together, we strive to bring common clarity to the chaos and confusion by partnering with leaders and organizations to uncover those areas that are creating stumbling blocks and turn them into stepping stones. Remember, the depth of your preparation determines the height of your performance.

The Power of Vulnerability
The traditional notion of leaders as indestructible and solid as a rock can create unrealistic expectations and pressures, leading to burnout and a lack of genuine connection. Embracing vulnerability allows leaders to break away from these stereotypes, creating a more sustainable and humane approach to leadership.
The decision to be vulnerable builds trust and authenticity, it encourages open communication, fosters resilience and growth, enhances connection and empathy, and promotes psychological safety.
Join Rich and Doc as they discuss the importance of vulnerability in this episode of Protect Your Patch.
