Cover Dare to Lead by Brené Brown

I listened to Dare to Lead by Brené Brown on audiobook, the way I usually do at 1.5x and while walking the dog.

And maybe that's not the place to start books I know I'm going to want to annotate. I'm a brené Brown fan. Her page on research is part of the welcome packet for all incoming interns. All of which is to say: I'm going to need to by a physical or digital copy so I can start marking it up.

What has stuck with me, from this first listen, is more tools and ways to have hard workplace conversations, including with yourself. I have a hard time imagining using term like “rumble” at work. But maybe that's part of the problem.

Being explicit — including more explicit markers for conversations and expectations of and guidelines for behavior — are a part of creating a more inclusive workplace. It doesn't depend on coded norms and biases to function.

This will have a second read this year.
