What Embarrassment Taught Me About Leadership S2 E5

🎙️ 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 publicly If 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.

The PROMISE

Be the Clay | The Promise S2 Ep 4 We love the idea of a promise… but we don’t always understand the path to it. The promise isn’t just something you receive…it’s something you walk into. In this episode of Be the Clay, we explore The Promise through the lens of faith, obedience, and alignment. If provision is already present and placement is already intentional, then the promise becomes something deeper than an outcome— It becomes a process you must stay committed to. The promise won’t always remove pressure…but it will carry you through it. Reflection:🔁 Next Step: Are you waiting on the promise…or are you walking in alignment with it? If you’re ready to move beyond listening and start building with intention… 👉 THINK On Purpose is your next step [https://square.link/u/ofJvigBv]. Because growth doesn’t happen by chance—it happens on purpose. Transform. Tuesday morning at 6am Central on Apple/Amazon/Iheart and Spotify.

The Process... It REQUIRES Time

Process is not optional—it’s unavoidable. From habits to careers, from biology to business, everything follows a process. In this episode, we unpack what process really means and why time is a necessary part of becoming. You’re not stuck. You’re in process. 👉 “We often don’t have a process problem… but we may have a patience one.”
