Dare to Lead is a beloved book by popular author Brené Brown which is about leaning into courage and building a courageous culture in our work. It explores the importance of developing an awareness of how we respond to our fears, and learning how to embrace tough conversations. As Brené explains, “A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes and has the courage to develop that potential.” This title will appeal to those in educator roles, therapists, administrators, coaches, counselors, and many more.
