Good Words from Brene Brown

I had the privilege to attend Willow Creek's Leadership Summit a couple weeks ago and am just now beginning to download the thoughts and takeaways from those two days.  One of the more riveting speakers was Brene Brown, who you can get a taste of with her TED talk here.

Some of her best thoughts from her Willow talk were:

• In the absence of love and belonging there is always suffering
• Leaders can't give others what they don't have 
• When you judge your self for asking for help you are automatically judging others when they ask for help (this one hurt a little- a bit close to home!)
• You can choose courage or you can choose comfort but you cannot choose both; they are mutually exclusive
