Brené Brown spilled the beans...

Hey friends! Something exciting is brewing, and I couldn’t keep it to myself.

As a member of Brené Brown’s global Dare to Lead facilitator community — a network that has guided over 150,000 leaders in 45+ countries through this work — I’m thrilled to share that Brené just spilled the beans on what's next!

🚨 A brand-new book is on the way. And it’s not just a book — it’s a playbook for the times we’re living in. It's called Strong Ground.

It brings together:

✨ Lessons from the front lines of courageous leadership -- learned through YOUR hard work!

✨ Actionable tools for navigating complexity (without losing your humanity)

✨ Deep reflection on the real work of leading — not from ego, but from connection, discipline, and accountability

✨ A powerful call to build muscle — not just mindset — for the kind of leadership the world actually needs right now

As Brené puts it:

“Right now, we’re not especially good at what makes us human.”

Yikes and yet, yup!

This book is for the seasoned exec juggling strategy and burnout. For the Gen Zer wondering how to lead in a world on fire. For anyone who’s felt that courage matters more than ever — but is harder to come by.

Active client-friends, you'll be the first to get the updates on what's changed since we first launched Dare to Lead directly from me. If we haven't spoken in a while, hit reply and say "tell me more" and we'll carve out some time to connect and talk life and leadership.

You can pre-order Strong Ground here.

Let’s reimagine together the kind of leadership that protects the human spirit.

We’re gonna need it.

Love,

Char

p.s. I've been talking about real accountability for some time. We get to hear from Aiko Bethea, one of my fav voices, on the matter. Check out Chapter 17!
