#3 Dare to Lead

I can not get enough of Brene Brown, her new book dare to lead is a great look into vulnerability as leader and how you must be venerable to effectively lead. This is not just for bosses either! “I define a leader as anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.”

If you are not familiar with Brene Brown I highly suggest picking up her books!

Now, in this challenging and inspiring new book, Rachel exposes the twenty lies and misconceptions that too often hold us back from living joyfully and productively, lies we’ve told ourselves so often we don’t even hear them anymore.
