Debunking the Vulnerability Myths
We’ve all experienced shame; it’s our perception of what others think of us.
6
To truly understand shame, we must first understand connection, love and belonging.
-Shame derives its power from being “unspeakable”
-Simply believing that we’re enough helps us to remove the “mask”

Understanding and Combating Shame
The Vulnerability Armory
We found ways to protect ourselves from vulnerability as children, but as adults, we must be vulnerable.
“We must take off the armor, put down the weapons, show up and let ourselves be seen.” – Brown, p. 112

We don’t have to be perfect,
Just engaged and committed to aligning our values with action.
Cultivating Change and Closing the Disengagement Divide
Sometimes we disengage to protect ourselves.
Sometimes we disengage because the people who are leading us aren’t living up to their end of the social contract.

Disruptive Engagement
Daring to Rehumanize Education and Work
Brown talks about how shame is permeating our culture in schools and organizations; people use bullying, criticism, etc. in order to achieve what they want, and how we should mind the gap with feedback.
Wholehearted Parenting: Daring to be the Adults We Want Our Children to Be
Who we are and how we engage with the world
Is a much stronger prediction of how our children will do in the world in the future.

Wholehearted Parenting: Daring to be the Adults We Want Our Children to Be
The question isn’t “are you doing this right?”
It’s more like “are you the adult that you want your child to grow up to be?”

Wholehearted Parenting: Daring to be the Adults We Want Our Children to Be
The basic idea is: Are you leading by example?
As children, one of the most crucial things we do is watch and see how our parents are engaging with the world
Final Thoughts
Brown writes “daring greatly is not about winning or losing. It’s about courage. In a world where scarcity and shame dominate and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. Uncomfortable. It’s even a little dangerous at times. And, without question, putting ourselves out there means there’s a far greater risk of feeling hurt.”
