In “Dare to Lead,” Brene Brown emboldens us to embrace vulnerability and transform our leadership skills.

Through insightful research and personal anecdotes, she challenges conventional wisdom, urging us to cultivate courage and empathy in the face of uncertainty.

I love her personal anecdotes; this engaging beloved Texan is so authentic!

If you want emotional intelligence presented in the evidence-based and informative reading, not heavy in academic lingo and, very translatable to everyday situations, rich in metaphor- this one is for you.

Favourite quote: “Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome.”

Brown also introduces the concept of ‘BRAVING’, an acronym for Boundaries, Reliability, Accountability, Vault, Integrity, and Non-judgment. I know, right?

This is a keeper, one you will not want to give away, and the lessons are deep. I am an avid fan of Brene and the research! Her work is a beloved treasure in our home, instigating many passionate conversations at the dinner table.
