The inner journey to leadership | Leslie Stein | TEDxFremontEastWomen 

I saw this video because I got an email from Motivating The Masses and saw you on The Speaker. You had me glued from the first 5 seconds. Your energy is infectious. Your honesty is eye-opening. And your vulnerability makes me feel like I can do it too. Thank you so much Leslie Stein. I am better because of your talk.

"Speaking up makes the environment safe." POWERFUL! I needed this inspiration! I used to wear Wonder Woman wristbands to work for a little added superpower. Thanks Leslie!!!

I literally started clapping at the end. Brilliant information, given with heart and innovation. Thank you for this, Leslie

One of the best motivational speeches. I'm also an empathetic goofball who's completely employee driven and on the brink of putting on that costume and doing my thing to help the employee see their value. I want to shed all the fear of a bruised ego in a corporate meeting. I have decided now I am a student of life and I am not afraid to look bad or get it wrong. So empowering. I've also had some thoughts about applying to give a TED talk on how to plug back into our own power. Thank you for this.

EnJOY the journey, Leslie. You rocked it sister! So proud of you and grateful for all you are doing to empower others to rise to their potential and make the world a better place. With Pride We Defend '97!

So glad I discovered this today. What an inspiration to me. I needed to hear this. Thank you.

What a great talk! It's so refreshing to be reminded we can just be ourselves and our environment will allow it and be forgiving. I have a horrible habit of taking one step forward then overthinking things to death and wanting approval from others before I go further. This is a reminder to just listen to myself and my hopes and dreams and where I'm guided, not where anyone else is guiding me.

Excellent! I so needed this encouragement right now.

Leslie!!!! You have completely blown me away!!! I truly enjoyed this presentation. I remember that you had told every one at the WCSA that you would be presenting and I am extremely proud of you!!! Keep inspiring the world with your life !!! :)

Leslie this talk is riveting. I hung on every single word. Your brilliance chutzpah authenticity and vulnerability are pure magic. When I think of a talk only you can deliver I will remember this talk

Leslie, excellent and inspiring talk. Thanks for your vulnerability and authenticity. USMA '84

There are so many things about this Ted Talk that speak to my heart! Thank you so much!

Leslie Stein, you are not only a beautiful women, but your leadership message is even more beautiful...speak up..it creates the environment...at the risk of being called a liability, while being passionate, compassionate, empathetic and intelligent, never to chase what others are doing best, but doing what the inner leadership does best...thank you..the environment will adapt...brilliant..just brilliant!!

I watch and learn each night. I will continue to do this. I hope I will find another that was this good.Thank you.

What a great and motivational talk! First of all, thank you Leslie for your service. Second, thank you for giving a new perspective on leadership and what it truly takes to be a leader. I was happy to hear of the take on vulnerability and using that as a strength, rather than a weakness. Keep up the fantastic work!

This is such a fantastic Ted Talk, really powerful! I loved the message of Leslie Stein. What an inspirational story

This talk inspires positive change both in individuals and in the world! Thank you Leslie.

This is a pass on link to TED talks, which I love on so many levels! I wish I had been aware of Leslie's presentation sooner (however I expect today is when I was supposed to see it in my journey). Keep sharing! When women leaders speak & share, we empower the next generation and teach them to change their environments! -Teresa Haering, USMA '89 - Beat Navy!!

Love your down to earth style & stories! Everybody needs to know they are an asset!!

Being a veteran myself....I can so relate to this. Had me giggling a few times...brings back some memories. Way to go Leslie!!!

honesty and vulnerability! love that!

I am so inspired. Thank-you!

terrific! Really inspiring, makes me want to find some courage to take risks.

Bravo Leslie! You are so inspiring. Seriously consider supporting/facilitating at the 40 years of Women at West Point Conference next year!

you are always such an inspiration! keep shining and keep sharing your journeys!

I love this talk. It inspiring. Vulnerable. Humble. Honest. And Leslie Stein was so natural, at ease, likeable. And funny! The title of the talk is IMO unfortunate - it does not convey what the talk is truly about (showing up as the real you). Im a TEDx speaker myself and RU-vid must think that our talks are similar because each time I’d go to my own talk to see how the views were doing, youtube would recommend Leslie’s talk to me. The 30th time I finally gave it a look (despite the title). And wow. Such a warm feeling afterward. I wish I could speak with such ease, humor and presence. I wish I were as likeable! But mostly, I found the message touching and inspiring. Thank you Leslie Stein. And great recommendation RU-vid!

First of all, thank you for your service to our country. Second of all, great talk! I appeared on this stage twice myself. You have such a strong stage presence! I learned a lot from your talk and I have shared it with my peers... as I am an occupational therapist by trade and a leadership geek.

This video made my day! Thank you !

So wonderful...

Amazing TED talk!! I will be saving this!

Oh yes, sista! Inspiring, daring and courageous.

A wonderful inspirational talk.

Enjoyed this very much. I am an asset and the environment will adapt-powerful words of encouragement to be honest and authentic. Attributes that seem to be missing in society.

First, Thank You for your service Capt. I am actually using part of your Tedx Talk for part of my presentation, I am talking about a book that i read over the winter break called "Women Who Don't Wait In Line" by Reshma Saujani. I go to a 90% pop. off women college in Texas. Thanks for such a great Tedx Talk.

Exactly! Be the best version of yourself. If you are good enough people will follow. BTW - you do not need to be best in everything, just in that thing that is important to the team. You are an asset when you are the best.

Leslie, Great job classmate! I am proud to share this link at work and motivate my fellow Marines. Your talk reminds me of a conversation between BG St. Onge and myself at our graduation dance. Keep up the great work. David "Spanky" Spangler USMA 97

I enjoy it, very supportive.

Empowering! Good empowering advice given in an entertaining way.

Thank you!!

Great content delivered in a very memorable way. Well done!

Nailed it! People and now looking back waiting for the perfect chance is a big mistake.

I can absolutely resonate. I have been there. I retired from Army and thought corporate HR will listen.... I have worn the Superman outfit and often got it torn int pieces .... by superego bosses who think and behaved "god". But, I have no regrets because I value the integrity for which I stand for and speak the authentic truth.

Amazing video, interesting insight and great charisma. So powerful and beautiful spoken. Amazing!

Brilliant 👏

This video speaks straight to my heart! I AM that soldier who stifles herself because its just not what they want to see in the Army.

LESLIE, YOU ARE A WONDER WOMAN AND AN AMAZING ASSET!!!!! USMA '94

Love this talk...made me think of "The Power of Vulnerability" right away - which is one of my favourite ted talks ever. I got to say though...this whole "speaking up" thing doesn't work very well on people who aren't too bright/self reflected/curious (which, sadly, are the majority of people you deal with unless you're very well educated, ambitious and/or wealthy. I'm a very outgoing, confident person and have rarely hesitated to propose change or ask for/offer help in the various jobs I did so far and yet I got so frustrated by people not wanting to improve even the most obvious flaws in work routines or dealing with each other that I finally became a freelancer. I get by quite well and haven't regretted taking that step but my main incentive wasn't self improvement of some kind but not having to deal with stupid bosses/colleagues anymore. Sighs. Still, I hope you're right and people/environments can change for the better when people speak up...

YOU'RE INCREDIBLE! :) :)

Fantastic, inspirational talk on the importance of being authentic - let that vulnerability shine and create the environment you want to live in. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EaEqRFe1jsg.html
