Courageous Conversations

Brené Brown, author of Dare to Lead, writes this about what she calls courageous conversations, defining them as “a discussion, conversation or meeting defined by a commitment to lean into vulnerability, to stay curious and generous…and as psychologist Harriet Lerner teaches, to listen with the same passion with which we want to be heard.”

We hope our new resource, Exchange Reflections, will provide your team some inspiration for having courageous conversations. The newest offering in this series, “Exploring Consent and Power with Gun Play,” provides a topic that can lend itself to valuable, in-depth discussions where people may hold differing points of view. Much valuable learning is possible when people truly listen to each other with a desire to understand.

By the way, we heard from one ExchangeEveryDay reader who said she’s using Exchange Reflections by herself, just as a tool for deepening her own thinking. So, there’s a new idea we’ll pass along.
