📚 Chamber Book Club: Dare to Lead by Brené Brown

Join fellow Chamber members as we explore Dare to Lead by Brené Brown, a thought-provoking book about what it truly means to be a courageous and effective leader.

Whether you own a business, manage a team, lead an organization, or simply want to become a stronger leader, Dare to Lead offers practical ideas for navigating the challenges that come with leadership. Brown explores topics such as courage, vulnerability, trust, difficult conversations, resilience, and creating a culture where people can do their best work.

💼 Why This Book Matters for Business Owners & Operators

Leadership isn’t just about having a title—it’s about how we communicate, how we handle difficult situations, and how we show up for the people we work with.

As we read Dare to Lead, we’ll have the opportunity to consider questions like:

How can we build greater trust with employees, customers, and colleagues?

How do we have difficult conversations with courage and clarity?

What does vulnerability actually look like in a professional setting?

How can we create a workplace culture where people feel valued and supported?

How do we lead through uncertainty, mistakes, and challenges?

What does courageous leadership look like in a small business or local organization?

❤️ Come As You Are!

You do not have to be caught up on the reading to join us! We welcome our Chamber members exactly where they are.

Maybe you’ve read every chapter. Maybe you’re halfway through. Maybe you haven’t had a chance to open the book yet. Come anyway!

The purpose of our Book Club is not to quiz anyone on the reading. It’s about conversation, connection, shared experiences, and learning from one another. Different perspectives are what make these discussions valuable, and sometimes the best conversations come from simply hearing how another business owner approaches a challenge differently.

So grab your coffee, bring your thoughts (and your unfinished reading!), and join us for a conversation about what it means to Dare to Lead.

Chamber members are welcome. Come ready to connect, share, learn, and grow together!
