Christmas is my favourite time of the year and I always love getting new books (well actually that’s not just at Christmas). One book I’d highly recommend and one that truly transformed my perspective is:

(And it’s not “How to Win Friends and Influence People”)

→ “Dare to Lead” by Brené Brown

4 lessons I learned

👉🏼 1. Embrace Vulnerability.

– Being vulnerable doesn’t mean being weak. It means having the courage to show up when you can’t control the outcome.

👉🏼 2. The Value of Trust.

– Trust isn’t built overnight. It’s a series of small moments where integrity, accountability, and reliability are proven.

👉🏼 3. Self-awareness Leads to Empathy.

– Understanding our own emotions helps us empathise with others. This paves the way for stronger, more meaningful connections.

👉🏼4. Clear is Kind.

– Clear, honest feedback, even when uncomfortable, is kinder than vague, unhelpful criticism.

Learn these lessons → you’ll become an exemplary leader.
