In the midst of deep uncertainty and the overwhelm of experiencing bluster, hubris, and cruelty as acceptable forms of leading, Brené Brown believes we need to reimagine the essentials of courageous leadership. Strong Ground: The Lessons of Daring Leadership, the Tenacity of Paradox, and the Wisdom of the Human Spirit is a collection of actionable and tactical insights that make explicit the mindsets and skill sets needed to lead from a place of connection, discipline, and accountability. Strong Ground is a playbook for everyone, from senior leaders executing complex strategies to Gen Z-ers navigating turbulent work environments.  

Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work and a Professor of Practice in Management at The University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business. She is the author of six #1 New York Times bestsellers and the host of two award-winning podcasts. 

Brown will be in conversation with Daniel Pink, the author of seven bestselling books about business, work, creativity, and behavior, including The Power of Regret, A Whole New Mind, and When, as well as the #1 New York Times bestsellers Drive and To Sell is Human.
