Dare to lead : brave work, tough conversations, whole hearts / by Brown, Brené,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.In her books, Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she's showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it's necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start.

Supercommunicators : how to unlock the secret language of connection / by Duhigg, Charles,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.From the bestselling author of 'The Power of Habit', a fascinating exploration of what makes conversations work, and how we can all learn to be supercommunicators at work and in life. We all know people who seem capable of connecting with almost anyone. They're the ones we love talking to, who we turn to for advice, who hear what we are trying to say and make us feel seen. Charles Duhigg argues that supercommunicators understand that whenever we speak, we're actually participating in one of three conversations: practical, emotional, and social. If you don't know what kind of conversation you're having, connection is hard. With his trademark clarity and storytelling, Duhigg shows readers how to recognize these three conversations-and teaches us the skills we need to navigate them more successfully. Communication is a superpower. By bringing readers into jury deliberations and fraught CIA recruitments, into Netflix's company-wide conversations about equity and the writers' room of 'The Big Bang Theory', Duhigg uncovers why some people are able to make themselves heard-and to hear others-so clearly. We learn how to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation. In the end, we learn a simple but powerful lesson: with the right tools, we can connect with anyone.

I want to die but I still want to eat tteokbokki : further conversations with my psychiatrist / by Paek, Se-hŭi,1990-author.; Hur, Anton,translator.;
"The sequel to the internationally bestselling South Korean therapy memoir, translated by National Book Award finalist Anton Hur. Whenever depression or emptiness came calling, I was all too eager to open the door of self-pity and go right inside. Baek Sehee started recording her sessions with her psychiatrist because she hoped to create a guide for herself. She never imagined her reflections would reach so many people, especially young people. I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki became a runaway bestseller in South Korea, then Indonesia, the U.K., and the U.S., drawing readers with its frank and vulnerable discussions of depression and anxiety. Healing is an uneven process. In this second book, Baek's sessions intensify as her inner conflicts become more complex and challenging. Through her dialogues with her psychiatrist and reflective micro-essays following each session, Baek traces the patterns of her anguish, makes progress, weathers setbacks, and shares the revelatory insights that come just when she has almost given up hope. I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki offers itself to the social media generation as a book to hold close, a friend who knows that grappling with everyday despair is part of a lifelong journey"--

Includes bibliographical references (pages 299-301)."Have you ever wondered 'Why did I do that?' or 'Why can't I just control my behavior?'

Being you : a first conversation about gender / by Madison, Megan.; Ralli, Jessica.; Passchier, Anne.;
"While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about issues like race and gender from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. This second book in the series begins the conversation on gender, with a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. Stunning art accompanies the simple and interactive text, and the backmatter offers additional resources and ideas for extending this discussion"--Provided by publisher.LSC
