The experience catalysed a series of changes in my life that - through the willingness to be more vulnerable - led to a more wholehearted way of living, including: changing careers to do something I was really passionate about being a better leader and colleague come out at work and have more self compassion. The workshop was facilitated by two incredible coaches, Ade Adeniji and Darren Brady, who trained with Brené in Texas. I read all of Brené's books and sign up to a three day experiential workshop called The Daring Greatly™ Workshop based on her work. I took a couple of weeks off work (thanks to some wonderfully compassionate Directors) and accepted that I had to make some mindset changes if I wanted to achieve certain things that were important to me in my professional and personal life. They changed the course of my life.Īt the time, I had mentally exhausted myself through unsustainable working practices (long hours, working weekends, "perfectionism", saying yes to everything, not asking for help) and subtle but damaging negative self talk. I watched her TED talks on The Power of Vulnerability and Listening to Shame. Part I: Be who you needed when you were younger.
