Rehumanizing Work and Parenting
Brown highlights the need to rehumanize work and parenting by addressing issues of fear, disengagement, and the yearning for more courage. She points out that in corporate settings, the lack of feedback and fear of staying relevant amid rapid change are significant problems. In parenting, framing mothers and fathers as good or bad creates a shame minefield. Brown asserts, 'When shame becomes a management style, engagement dies.' She advocates for a culture where mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth and learning, both in the workplace and at home.
