"Brené's reputation as a speaker is built on her ability to explore difficult topics with tremendous honesty, warmth, and humor. She is a thought-leader, researcher, and storyteller with the rare ability to both inspire audiences and leave them with actionable change strategies."
*Keynote: The Power of Vulnerability
In our culture, vulnerability has become synonymous with weakness. We associate vulnerability with emotions like fear, shame, and scarcity; emotions that we don't want to discuss, even when they profoundly affect the way we live, love, work, and lead.
The morning keynote will explore:
I. The critical role vulnerability plays in our personal and professional success
II. The five most common strategies we use to avoid and minimize vulnerability and how they move us away from our goals; and
III. Five actionable strategies for leaning into our discomfort and embracing vulnerability as a source of strength and inspiration
** Breakout: The Hustle for Worthiness:
The Journey from "What Will People Think" to "I Am Enough"
The greatest barrier to experiencing love and belonging is our own beliefs about our worthiness. When we struggle to believe that we are truly worthy of love and belonging, we hustle for it.
Brene's research uncovers that worthiness is not about who we should be or who we might be or who we could be. It's about who we are. Right now. Today. It's about waking up and believing, "I am enough."
In this workshop, we will explore:
I. The definitions of love and belonging that emerged from Brené's 10-year study on Wholehearted Living;
II. Why owning our story is an integral part of claiming our worthiness; and
III. Specific strategies for cultivating a life defined by authenticity, love and belonging, and worthiness.
