Brené Brown
The Convener
The room, the network and the deal, brings the right people together.
Brené Brown reads as The Convener because she has used research as a rallying point, building a global movement around ideas most institutions were too guarded to name. By translating shame, vulnerability, and belonging into a shared language, she has aligned academics, executives, and everyday people around common purpose. Brown does more than influence individuals. She constructs communities of practice, gathering people across sectors through the strategic power of a single courageous idea.
“It's not fear that gets in the way of us being brave with our lives and our work. It's the armor that we reach for to self-protect when we're afraid. And how that armor moves us away from love, connection, and our values.”
“There is no courage without vulnerability. Courage is the willingness to show up and be all in when you cannot predict the outcome.”
“We've taken 165,000 people through this work across 45 countries, collected data on all of it. It stood all of the complex changes over the last five years, including AI. You can develop courage skills.”
