What does it mean to live a life of courage?
- 00:06 - 00:07
Burn A Brown,
- 00:07 - 00:12
a research professor at the University of Houston who studies vulnerability,
- 00:12 - 00:15
courage, shame and empathy,
- 00:15 - 00:18
quotes President Theodore Roosevelt's famous speech as
- 00:18 - 00:21
the ultimate description of courage and vulnerability.
- 00:22 - 00:24
It is not the critic who counts,
- 00:24 - 00:28
not the man who points out where the strong man stumbles
- 00:28 - 00:31
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
- 00:31 - 00:35
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.
- 00:36 - 00:41
This is only an excerpt of the speech that inspired Burn A Brown to write her book,
- 00:41 - 00:43
daring greatly.
- 00:43 - 00:46
Speaking about vulnerability and courage,
- 00:46 - 00:49
daring greatly means that we must dare to show up and
- 00:49 - 00:52
let ourselves be seen rather than sitting on the sidelines,
- 00:52 - 00:56
hurling judgment and criticism to those who are actually in the arena.
- 00:57 - 00:58
In my presentation,
- 00:58 - 01:02
I would like to share the key takeaways that I have learned from Burn A Brown
- 01:03 - 01:04
book daring greatly.
- 01:04 - 01:08
And her netflix special called Bernie Brown the Call to Courage.
- 01:09 - 01:11
She has truly inspired me to think differently about
- 01:11 - 01:14
my life and transformed the way that I live.
- 01:14 - 01:17
So I think it would be useful to share this with you.
- 01:18 - 01:22
I would like to share more about what it means to be courageous and to be vulnerable.
- 01:24 - 01:25
Some of this would include
- 01:26 - 01:30
Renee Brown's motto, which is choose courage over comfort.
- 01:30 - 01:32
She shares that if you're not willing to fail,
- 01:33 - 01:34
you will never improve.
- 01:35 - 01:37
You don't always know what the outcome of a situation will be,
- 01:37 - 01:39
but if you aren't willing to take the risk.
- 01:39 - 01:42
There's so much that you're going to miss out on in life,
- 01:42 - 01:44
you don't want to get to the end of your life and think
- 01:44 - 01:49
what would it would have been if I had shown up and been brave
- 01:51 - 01:52
in sharing this with you?
- 01:52 - 01:56
I was wondering if it would be useful to show a clip of burn a brown in my
- 01:56 - 01:59
live presentation or if there's anything else you think
- 01:59 - 02:01
I should include or would like to know,
- 02:01 - 02:03
I would appreciate any feedback.
- 02:03 - 02:03
Thank you.
