Emergence with Elaira

Ep. 32. Soft Power series: when your sensitivity is your super power and when it is not.

Elaira Tickute

I want to talk about being sensitive and being powerful. That's for me, in other words, what I call soft power.

We have this perception about if you're a sensitive being, you're some kind of weak, you some kind of have to protect yourself and some sort you are marginalized in our society. In a way, you're not functional, especially in the business world. In a business world, you have to be resilient, you have to be tough. And it's just partly the truth. So, I want to break that stereotype because I found it's just a stereotype. 

In this episode I talk about:

 - 2 types of sensitivity,
- My personal embracing sensitivity story,
- Embodied and disembodied sensitivity,
- How to use senitivity as a strength instead of victimhood,
- The difference between thriving and not thriving sensitive people,
- Why we are afraid and neglect our sensitivity?
