Brené with Aiko Bethea and Ruchika Tulshyan on the Heart of Leadership, Part 2 of 2

Hi, everyone. I'm Brene Brown, and this is Here to Lead. I am back with part two of a very important conversation with two of my friends, mentors, teachers, co creators, Aiko Bathia and Ruchika Tulshian. You really need to listen to the first part of this podcast to jump into the second part. We are talking about what it takes to make space to create change. We talk about psychological safety and safe places versus actually brave places. We talk about what we're all seeing personally and professionally in the state of belonging work, what it is, what's working, what's not working. And in this conversation, we dig into some real some real real issues and some real complex issues. What does it mean to bring your whole self to work? And our workplace is equipped for that, and is that safe? And what does it mean to be restored and how to experience restoration while being present? This is a soulful conversation about soulful work. I said during the first episode, I believe belonging work is at the heart of courageous leadership, and it's the lifeblood. And the lifeblood of the belonging work is emotion. And this is hard work, and it's why it's exhausting to do, to facilitate, to lean into. I'm glad you're here.
