Dr. Brené Brown : The Two Most Dangerous Words in Your Vocabulary | Oprah Winfrey | SuperSoul Sunday | OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network

Dr. Brené Brown started her research on vulnerability, worthiness, and shame six months before September 11, 2001, and says our culture has been marked by deep fear since then. That fear, she says, has now shifted from external events to the fear that we as individuals are simply not enough. Watch to find out why, Dr. Brown says, those two words lead us to shut down emotionally and spiritually. For more on #supersoulsunday, visit WatchOWN.tv/SSS

?? Navigating Trust with BRAVING: A Journey with Brené Brown ??

Hello LinkedIn community,

Trust is a powerful word, carrying the weight of relationships, connections, and vulnerability. Recently, I delved into an eye-opening episode of Oprah Winfrey's SuperSoul Conversations featuring Brené Brown, a renowned researcher in vulnerability, courage, shame, and empathy. In this enlightening conversation, Brené introduces us to the intricacies of trust, breaking it down into a beautiful acronym - BRAVING.

?? Read More Here: Mindful - Healthy Mind, Healthy Life: Brené Brown on What it Really Means to Trust.

?? Defining Trust: A Vulnerable Choice:

Brené, borrowing from leadership coach Charles Feltman, defines trust as "choosing to make something important to you vulnerable to the actions of someone else." Trust, she emphasizes, isn't built through grand gestures but in the small moments where others treat what matters to us with care.

?? BRAVING: The Blueprint for Building Trust:

Brené introduces BRAVING, an acronym that unravels the components of trust:

1. Boundaries: Clarity about our boundaries and understanding others' boundaries is essential for trust to flow both ways.
2. Reliability: Consistent follow-through on commitments gradually builds reliability.
3. Accountability: Owning up to mistakes, apologizing, and making amends is crucial for building trust.
4. The Vault: Respecting the confidentiality of personal information is foundational for trust.
5. Integrity: Choosing courage over comfort and living according to our values builds integrity.
6. Non-judgment: True reciprocal non-judgment requires vulnerability without fear of being judged.
7. Generosity: Assuming the most generous interpretation of others' words and behaviors fosters trust.

?? Building Self-Trust: The Journey of Self-Love:

Understanding the complexity of trust not only helps us navigate relationships but also contributes to building self-trust. Brené encourages us to assess our self-trust by evaluating if we respect our boundaries, are reliable, hold ourselves accountable, and practice generosity with ourselves.

?? Join the Trust Adventure:

As we embark on the adventure of trust, let's consider the components of BRAVING in our interactions, both with others and ourselves. Trust, after all, is a journey of courage, vulnerability, and self-love.

BRAVING: An Acronym for Building Trust?

To talk about trust, Brown uses the acronym BRAVING which stands for: boundaries, reliability, accountability, the vault, integrity, non-judgment, and generosity. Understanding that these are components of trust and how they work can help us really understand how we do or don’t trust others, or ourselves. She says she uses this acronym “because when we trust, we are braving connection with someone.”

Trust is choosing to make something important to you vulnerable to the actions of someone else.

Boundaries

To trust someone, Brown says, it’s essential that we are clear about our boundaries so they can understand and respect our limits. It’s also important that we understand the boundaries of others so trust can flow both ways.?

Reliability

Reliability is when someone does what they say they’re going to do over and over again. They can’t just follow through on their word once, Brown says, reliability builds gradually.?

At work, this means that we know our limits and enforce them so we don’t bite off more than we can chew. If we commit to more than we can manage, we end up unable to finish it all, or we finish it at a lower level of quality than we could have if we had less on our plate. When we overstep our limits, we can’t deliver on our commitments. We can’t follow through on our word.

This idea also transfers to personal life. We need to know when we’re too busy to commit to more plans with others, or when we just don’t want to commit. Brown gives the example of running into an acquaintance at a coffee shop. We might feel compelled to say, “Great to see you. I’ll give you a call sometime!” when we actually have no intention of calling. That makes us unreliable. It’s okay to just say, “Great to see you.”?

Accountability

We trust people who own up to their mistakes, apologize, and make amends, she says. But others can only do that if we allow them. If we immediately write someone off when they make a mistake, or stop talking to them, we don’t give them a chance to step into their accountability.?

This goes both ways in a relationship. When we make mistakes, we need the other person to allow us to acknowledge our mistake, say we’re sorry, and try to patch things up.

The Vault

“This one shook me to the core,” Brown says when she introduces the topic.

We cannot trust someone if they share our personal information with others without our permission. It needs to be as though that information is in a vault that’s only accessible to the folks we purposely told. By the same token, we need to hold the secrets, stories, and information of other people in confidence so they can trust us.?

Oftentimes, Brown says, we use gossip as a way to try to quickly find intimacy with someone. We feel like if we can secretly talk about others with them, we have a solid connection. Brown calls this “counterfeit trust.” If we are minding our own business and someone tells us confidential information about someone else, we know we can’t trust them. Others will think the same of us. Brown boils the vault down to: “You respect my story [and] you respect other people’s story.”

Integrity

“Integrity,” Brown says, “is choosing courage over comfort. It’s choosing what’s right over what’s fun, fast, or easy.” Integrity, she says, is more than just naming our values. It’s living according to our values.?

Integrity is choosing courage over comfort. It’s choosing what’s right over what’s fun, fast, or easy.?

Plus, when we live with integrity, we not only build trust with others, we build trust with ourselves.?

Non-judgment

Non-judgment is about being vulnerable with someone without being judged by them, while they can be vulnerable and not be judged by us. This is hard, Brown says, because we tend to be better at giving help than asking for help. In fact, we tend to feel better about ourselves when we help someone, but think less of ourselves when we ask for help. “You cannot judge yourself for needing help, but not judge others for needing your help,” she points out. That’s what makes true reciprocal non-judgment difficult.?

Generosity

Brown says, “our relationship is only a trusting relationship if you can assume the most generous thing about my words, intentions and behaviors, and then check in with me.” Which means that if we make a mistake, others will be up front about it, but assume we had good intentions.?

This might look like someone telling us that they are hurt that we didn’t call on an important day, but they assume we just forgot or were busy. This gives us a chance to be accountable. And this goes both ways. It’s important that we also check in and leave space for others to be accountable.??

How to Trust Yourself

It’s important that we understand the complexity of trust and how to break it down so that we can identify why we do or don’t trust certain people. Instead of feeling stupid or naive for trusting someone when they turned out to be untrustworthy, we can identify what exactly went wrong.?

Knowing this can help us build our self-trust, too. Brown gives the example of making a mistake. She says we can ask ourselves if we respected our boundaries, if we were reliable, if we held ourselves accountable, and if we were generous with ourselves.?

“Because if braving relationships with other people is braving connection, self-trust is braving self-love. Self-respect is the wildest adventure we’ll ever take in our whole lives,” Brown says. If we don’t feel like we can trust ourselves, we can’t expect others to trust us, because we can’t give others what we don’t have.

Celebrating Success One Failure at a Time | Christina Gerakiteys GAICD

To succeed in business, we must change the meaning of the word ‘failure’ and that takes courage.

How do we see?failure?

If we are to encourage innovation,?we have to walk-the-talk.

Netflix's Mark Randolph started seven businesses. Six failed. The seventh almost did.

To succeed in business, we must change the meaning of the word ‘failure’ and that takes courage.

There's a lot of talk, and you could be forgiven for thinking that failure is the new black! But failure isn't a time to sit back and put on the badge of honour, that you have tried and failed.?

Failure isn’t an end.

It is only one step on the path to success and there are many steps required.

From the Wright Brothers to Dyson, Roddick, Elon Musk and Richard Branson , failure or 'mistakes' need to be embraced as part of the Xperience and not punished.

Discover what could happen when mindset is altered, where collideation is encouraged, and where failures turn to lessons that lead to success.

"I haven't failed. I just found 10,000 ways that won't work" - Thomas Edison
