Be you.

Wholehearted living is about…cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, ‘N​o matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough’.  It’s going to bed at night thinking, ‘Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.

Be all in.

 Fall. Get up. Try again.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable, or to dare greatly. . Vulnerability is not weakness, but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and meaningful connection.  When we show up and allow ourselves to be seen and heard, we are being vulnerable. We are daring greatly.

More on Daring Greatly
Regardless of magnitude or circumstance, the rising strong process is the same: We reckon with our emotions and get curious about what we’re feeling; we rumble with our stories until we get to a place of truth; and we live this process, every day, until it becomes a practice and creates nothing short of a revolution in our lives.

True Belonging

Brené Brown writes, “True belonging requires us to believe in and belong to ourselves so fully that we can find sacredness both in being a part of something and in standing alone when necessary. But in a culture that’s rife with perfectionism and pleasing, and with the erosion of civility, it’s easy to stay quiet,  or fit in rather than show up as our true selves and brave the wilderness of uncertainty and criticism. True belonging is a daily practice that demands integrity and authenticity. It’s a personal commitment that we carry in our hearts.”

Dare to Lead

Daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100% teachable, observable, and measurable. The foundational skill set of courage-building is “rumbling with vulnerability.” Once we have built these rumbling skills, we can move on to the other three skill sets: Living into Our Values, Braving Trust, and Learning to Rise. Our ability to be daring leaders will never be greater than our capacity for vulnerability.
