So vulnerable, in fact, I had to get kind of the input feedback and permission from my team. So part one is this episode, and then part two, and in part two, I am doing one of the most vulnerable things I’ve ever done on a podcast. We’re going to think about how we don’t go back to doing some of the shit that was not working, that we were just on autopilot and doing, because that’s what we thought we were supposed to do. And I cannot think of a better person to walk us through how we return to gathering than Priya.īB: We’re going to talk about how to navigate new spaces while creating an inclusive sense of belonging without creating exclusion. It’s going to be different, and we need it to be different, and we need it to be better than it was before. We are coming out of “COVID quarantine,” we are coming back together in our homes, in our faith communities and at work. This is part one of a two-part series with my friend, Priya Parker on the return to gathering.

Exhale for four seconds, and then hold for four seconds. I mean, like a big… Let’s do the box breathing from the books, a big four second inhale. So I’ll put this all in the show notes, but I wanted to give y’all a heads up that I will be off the grid for Dare to Lead in June, back in July and off for a couple of weeks on Unlocking Us as well. If you are also an Unlocking Us listener, we are taking off from June second to June 16th on Unlocking Us too.īB: I will tell you that I am finishing a new research and working on a new book that’s going to come out either late this year or next year, so I’m excited about that, and I’m excited about some time with my family as well, and we’re going to come back from Unlocking Us with a five-part summer series that I’m doing with my sisters, Ashley and Barrett on The Gifts of Imperfection. We have incredible folks coming on the podcast for great conversations through the rest of the year, and I am as always, incredibly grateful for you. We are going to be taking some time off, so we are going to take off the month of June, we’ll be gone from Memorial Day and then the whole month, and I will be back on July 12 with a very personal and vulnerable two-part solo series on the hardest feedback I’ve ever received personally as a leader, how it felt, what it meant, what I did about it, what I thought about it, I’m just going to be really honest with y’all and tell you because I just don’t think we talk about it, we talk about feedback, but we don’t talk about what it feels to be on the receiving end of it, especially when it’s hard, and how we take that feedback, whether it’s a skilled person or often an unskilled giver of feedback and do something productive with it. Before I jump in to tell you about this incredible episode, I want to give you a housekeeping note, church bulletin time.

Brené Brown: Hi everyone, I’m Brené Brown, and this is Dare to Lead.
