In this episode of “Dare to Lead,” Kam Franklin and I talk about what it means to lead a creative team. She explains the daily conflict that bubbles up in the creative process and how normalizing that conflict helps get to the creative magic.

A quote from Kam Franklin—an artist, leader, activist, and lead singer for The Suffers—who appeared on the Dare to Lead podcast with Brené Brown: Impossible? No, never impossible. I didn’t sign up for this job to be comfortable. Rock and roll is hard. It’s not comfortable. I come from the land of Beyoncé and Barbara Jordan. You need to talk to someone else about impossible.

So grateful to
@TaranaBurke
for calling me and saying, "Hey, I have an idea." And, equally grateful for the writers who shared their hearts, their stories, and their truths with the world. Happy 1 year anniversary to "You Are Your Best Thing!"

I love this line from
@EmmanuelAcho
’s new book. All of us are a little untethered right now, which means a lot of projecting our own fears and anxieties onto other people. Sometimes, if we get really quiet—quiet enough to hear ourselves—we realize we know. bit.ly/35UBaxG
A quote from Emmanuel Acho’s book ‘Illogical’: Your calling is your calling. It’s not a conference call. Only you know that pure passion that burns within you.

“A toxic corporate culture is by far the strongest predictor of industry-adjusted attrition and is 10 times more important than compensation in predicting turnover.” Today, a powerful conversation with Donald and Charlie Sull on the Great Resignation. bit.ly/3Co1kVh
A quote from an article by Donald Sull, Charles Sull, and Ben Zweig, published in the MIT Sloan Management Review: A toxic corporate culture is by far the strongest predictor of industry-adjusted attrition and is 10 times more important than compensation in predicting turnover.

Deep gratitude for all of the folks in palliative care around the world-the social workers, nurses, docs, techs, admins, everyone. These are some of the hardest edges of love. And, so often we look away from these edges until the very moment we find ourselves standing on it. ❤️

Regardless of enforceability, Abbott and Paxton’s actions against trans youth politicizes people’s lives for gain. Turning care givers and teachers into reporters is a fear tactic reminiscent of historic demonization and witch hunts. All people are worthy of love and belonging.

Never surprised to see Abbott, Paxton, and Patrick courting Texas extremists out of fear - they’ve never been brave or well-informed leaders. But their collective capacity for cruelty still stuns. I stand with the trans communities across Texas.

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared all forms of gender-affirming care for trans youth child abuse under existing law, threatening parents and doctors with prosecution and forcing all mandated reporters of child abuse to report trans kids to state agencies. dallasnews.com/news/politics/

1. I can’t wait for #Bittersweet! It’s incredible and as life affirming as “Quiet” 2. I probably don’t need to tell you this because we’re in the same sad song fan club, but the list won’t be complete without “Ne me quitte pas” by Jacques Brel ❤️❤️❤️

is the best. We’re distributed all over the country, but I can hear the collective laughter. It’s not just the scores - it’s the commentary. #229 is especially funny.

“Unlocking Us” is back—and starting with a deep dive into values. I can’t think of a more powerful way to double down on ourselves than getting clear on our values. (P.S. Head to our home page for the exercise Barrett and I work through in this episode.) spoti.fi/3Ay5Kbh
From Unlocking Us with Brené Brown: Getting clear on your values. This is just you. This is you doubling down on you.
