Open up to connect with any audience Michael learned that when you open up and show your vulnerability you become an effective speaker. Michael used to post photos of landscapes on Instagram, but after his hardship he started posting photos of himself telling his feelings. That resonated with many people. Now Michael applies this principle for public speaking: open up to connect with any audience. Transcendent leadership Transcendent leadership is about overcoming fears and hardships as leaders, and then help other leaders do the same. We transcend beyond our limitations and fears, and evolve those around us. Related: Emotion Gets Connection Into Motion Favorite quotation “If you are depressed you are living in the past.
