Brené Brown
Published 2016
VulnerabilityLeadership
- Vulnerability is not weakness; it is the birthplace of courage, creativity, and meaningful connection.
- Shame thrives in secrecy and silence; naming it and sharing our stories with trusted people reduces its power.
- Wholehearted living means embracing our imperfections and letting go of the need for certainty, perfection, and constant approval.
- Clear, compassionate boundaries are essential for true empathy, trust, and sustainable leadership.
- Leaders who model vulnerability—admitting mistakes, asking for help, and giving honest feedback—create cultures of trust and innovation.
- Courage is a daily practice of showing up and being seen, even when the outcome is uncertain or we risk criticism.
- Parenting from a place of worthiness ("I am enough") rather than fear helps children develop resilience and a healthy sense of belonging.
- Daring greatly requires aligning our values with our actions, so that how we live, love, parent, and lead reflects what matters most.
