About this Event

Leadership is not about titles or the corner office. It's about the willingness to step up, put yourself out there, and lean into courage.

Brene Brown descibes her self as a researcher, storyteller, and Texan who’s spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. She defines a leader as anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.

If this sounds like you or something you'd be interested in, join us for our first Leadership Series, where we will reflect on and discuss the mahi and ideas in Dr Brené Brown’s book .

In this bestseller, Brené explores four key skills (or pillars) she has identified through her research that define courageous leadership:

  • Rumbling with vulnerability
  • Living into our values
  • Braving trust
  • Learning to rise

Throughout this monthly series, we will explore each of these pillars, share our own experiences (the good, the bad, and the ugly), and look at practical ways to grow our skills, learn from our mistakes, and become more wholehearted leaders in our workplaces, communities, and families.

For our first session in the series, we will focus on vulnerability.


Join us on Tuesday, 10th March at Basestation, 148 Durham Street, Tauranga.

Doors open at 5:00pm, and we will kick off at 5:30pm, finishing no later than 7:30pm.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Parking in Tauranga CBD is FREE after 5:00pm.
