I have been diving into Brene Brown’s Daring Greatly! Amazing stuff, as always. And what I notice is that I want to talk about it, not just read it and listen to her wisdom from her blog “read along”, but really TALK about it. Exchange stories, look deeper at the places the effect and move me, excavate how it applies to my life – that sort of thing. But to do that I need people to do that with. That’s where YOU come in.
WANTED: people who feel the same way, who want to put together a book club of sorts where we meet by phone (if there are those of us in the same city we could meet in person and call in others if that lands more) about once a week. I think it would be very fun! We could come up with little take away assignments (what can I say, I am a coach at my core) for between the calls, blog our findings (or not, if that is not your thing), etc. Really we can design it any way we want.
So who’s in?
Once we put together a core group of interested folks (about 8 to 10) we can figure out the details that work best for everyone (I am picturing something like a Wednesday evening call, about 5pm PT so that it can work across the country)… including how to set it up so that we can start at the beginning with her first few podcasts (although those of you who like to read ahead might want to do so, so that you can submit any questions you have to Brene so that she can answer them in upcoming podcasts). If you would like to go back and listen to the previous podcasts, here is the itunes link to them: Daring Greatly Read Along
So let me know if you are interested, and I am so excited to get started!!!
If you would like to join us, please email Katrina at katrina@signywilson.com
How could I Dare not to be part of this “Daring Greatly” book club and bigger learning and conversation! Saw her at the ICF Global conference in London, bought the book and can’t wait to dig in even deeper!
Cheers,
Sue
OMGosh Daring Greatly is exactly what I’m doing asking if I can join and be part of your book group!
I experienced Brene last year and have given her books to both of my girls to read and we have talked about how shame affects so many parts of our lives. Becoming aware of shame and making choices how we want to be with it has made a difference in all of our lives… I would be honoured to dig deeper into Brene’s work with you xxoo
Hugs Debbie
Great Sue!! I will be getting details out later today to you and all the others who responded through email or Facebook! So excited.

Sounds like a great idea, Signy! Definitely pencil me in–I’m trying to be careful about not over-committing but this sounds like such a sweet idea!! Love love love Brene’s work.
Would love to join the book club! Let me know my next steps to join.
Since I *just* ordered the book but saw her speak at WDS 2012, I’m pretty intrigued! I think I can fit this in, so count me in. I live in south Florida so I’m guessing I’d be a “dial in” phone call candidate.
Hi Signy,
Sounds interesting. I’m always up for new things.
My best,
Christina
Hi Everyone, I love Brene’s work. Count me in

Hi Signy,
I would be interested in joining in…either in person or via phone…I love Brene’s work too. For the past few years I have facilitated a virtual book club through my coaching business…it is such an amazing way to deepen our learning. Thank you for offering this.
