Think with Brené Brown's tools

12 Stations through Brown's two books, from vulnerability as the start of courage to the four skills of daring leadership, ending in a one-page courage practice your team can see.

We do not re-summarise Daring Greatly. We connect two books: Daring Greatly's arena, shame and never-enough culture, read from a manager's chair, then Dare to Lead's four skills of courage at work: rumbling, living into values, braving trust and learning to rise. The order is a teaching order designed by BookYol, not the author's own.

    Courage starts with us

    Your armour is named and taken off once, the team's scarcity conditions and one values gap are written down, one feedback conversation has been held from the same side of the table, and two pieces of leadership armour each have a daring alternative.

    Destination: courage on one page

    One page is written: one visible behaviour each for rumbling, values, trust and rising, each tried once first, shared with the team, with a date a month out to ask them what they noticed.

The BookYol LetterTwo letters a week

For the road

The road is daily. The letter is weekly.

While you walk Think with Brené Brown's tools, two letters a week widen the view: a big idea on Tuesday and a small experiment on Friday, drawn from the same shelf of books.

Tuesday

The Big Idea

One idea that challenges an assumption, explained properly, with its source.

Friday

The Small Experiment

One small thing to try before Monday, so the idea becomes something you do.
