from Be The Clay- Shifting in Transition Podcast · host Sharyn Combs

🎙️ Be the Clay Reflection Series“What Embarrassment Taught Me About Leadership”In this reflection episode, Sharyn Combs shares a deeply personal leadership lesson that began with something small: grocery gift cards, public criticism, and an unexpected feeling of embarrassment she could not ignore.But what started as discomfort became something much deeper.This episode explores:• Why certain criticism affects us more than others• The emotional complexity of generosity and visibility• How embarrassment can expose pride, insecurity, compassion, and identity at the same time• Why dignity matters when helping people• The difference between reacting emotionally and thinking intentionally• How mature leadership is often developed privately before it is demonstrated publiclyIf you have ever questioned yourself while trying to help others…If you have ever felt misunderstood while leading…Or if you are learning how to process emotions instead of simply reacting to them…This conversation is for you.Because sometimes the greatest growth comes from investigating the thoughts underneath the feelings.⸻LINKS BELOW -JOIN The Webinar Next Week🧠 THINK.
