In this powerful episode, Julie Wagner, executive leadership coach, speaker, and worship pastor, dives into the foundational principle of the V.I.C.T.O.R.Y. Strategy: Vulnerability & Vision. Learn how to build psychological safety on your team and master purpose-driven vision casting that inspires.

Grab your journal—this is essential listening for anyone seeking to practice heart-led leadership and create a lasting legacy.

This episode is packed with Biblical insights and practical steps to implement the Vulnerability & Vision principle immediately:
