Brene Brown calls this A RUMBLE:
Here’s the full quote:
“...a {conversation} defined by a commitment to lean into vulnerability, to stay curious and generous, to stick with the messy middle...to take a break and circle back when necessary, to be fearless in owning our parts, and, as psychologist Harriet Lerner teaches, to listen with the same passion with which we want to be heard. More than anything else, when someone says, ‘Let’s rumble,’ it cues me to show up with an open heart and mind so we can serve the work and each other, not our egos.”
Brene Brown, “Dare To Lead”
