Optimism sets a different machine in motion.” ~ From The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company.

“Daring leadership is ultimately about serving other people, not ourselves. That’s why we choose courage.” ~ From Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.1 by Brené Brown Thoughts It feels super inspirational to have finished this book. The book was excellent and it felt good to know that all the people who spoke highly of Brené Brown were justified in doing so.
