There are some helpful exercises in Dare to Lead—looking at you, values worksheet. I was able to glean a few useful things from this read that I believe will help me in my work. Then there are other moments that just feel too catchphrasey to take seriously (looking at you, “operationalizinator”). It’s decent, but there’s better motivational material out there.

Can I just say - READ THIS BOOK. No really.

I hear people rave about Brene Brown and her insights into what so many have tried to put into words, but until reading The Power of Vulnerability, I didn’t totally get the hype. The hype is worthy. Ms. Brown and the Power of Vulnerability should be on everyone’s radar.

In the writing, Ms. Brown explores some very hard-hitting topics, the ability to empathize, belong, and love.

This book should be read by all.

My first Brene Brown book - and it was worth every penny.

I have watched Ms. Brown on Podcasts, Ted Talks, etc., and sometimes I forget she’s an author not a dry-humored comic. Personally, I think she is hilarious, perhaps not everyone’s cup of tea because she pulls no punches. Those who are not ready to look in the mirror and take a hard stance at the root of their issues, likely won’t mesh with what Ms. Brown has to say.

“Courage is forged in pain, but not in all pain. Pain that is denied or ignored becomes fear or hate.”

“True belonging doesn't require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.”

“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path.”

“I can confidently say that stories of pain and courage almost always include two things: praying and cussing. Sometimes at the exact same time.”

I have a longer review on my blog where I discuss some of the specific bits that did or did not resonate for me, I don't want to post all that here so I'll share my brief summary review and you can read more here if you want!

SUMMARY REVIEW
I LIKED
- Developing shame resilience is worth examining.
- Illuminated where I run up against shame in my life, and some anecdotes from her participants did strike a cord.
- It’s an easy read.

I DIDN’T LIKE
- Very US American in examples and anecdotes. The UK culture of shame is quite different.
- Much discussion of the struggle of mothers and shame, with the child free shame barely referenced. This triggered a degree of shame in me.
- Not sure how I can action on the findings in this book.
