Books we loved this month:
Dare to Lead by Brené Brown
“Dare to Lead” by Brené Brown encourages leaders in any area of life to be transparent, to “embrace the suck” and to choose courage over comfort. The book cheers you every step of the way because Brown’s expectation is not that you change who you are but rather that you exploit what you excel in and lean in with courage to the circumstances, conversations and crowds that require it.
It will change your perception of leadership whether you are new to leading professionally or you’ve done it for years. Bravo to Brene Brown!”
