Secular Haven: Longmont Book Club, Strong Ground, by Brene Brown

Hello friends! Please join us for a discussion of Strong Ground, by Brene Brown

A leadership book? Really? For a local humanist group? Bear with me. I truly believe to make our world and our community a better place we all have to take up the mantle of leadership in our day to day lives. If you agree or are intrigued, join us for a conversation encompassing Brene Brown’s latest work.

Strong Ground by Brené Brown is a leadership book that builds on her Dare to Lead work, focusing on courageous leadership in uncertain times by emphasizing connection, accountability, and paradoxical thinking. It provides actionable insights for leaders to build strong organizations through skills like difficult conversations, strategic risk-taking, and the ability to unlearn and relearn, addressing challenges like the impact of AI and the need for human-centered approaches. The book serves as a playbook for leaders and individuals navigating complex work environments, arguing against the false choice between performance and wholeheartedness. A guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.

I will bring coffee, cream, and sugar, feel free to being your own snack or drink of choice. I look forward to seeing all of you!
