Consultation and Training

Do you belong to a group, agency, or community and would like more information about how vulnerability, shame, and worthiness apply to your team and/or the clients you serve? Would you like to learn more about how you can contribute to building a wholehearted organization that humanizes work and embraces innovation, creativity and change?

Tailored to your business and/or client population, I offer half and full-day training sessions based Brené Brown's ground breaking research. Some of the topics include:

  • myths of vulnerability

  • corrosive effects of shame and common shame triggers

  • scarcity culture, comparison, and their negative effects on authenticity and healthy striving

  • common ineffective ways individuals and groups disconnect from shame and vulnerability

  • ways to promote shame resilience, engagement, and connection

  • skills to embrace vulnerability, take risks, and be courageous


It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood…who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly…
— Theodore Roosevelt
