Learn a key concept from Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead™. The idea of living BIG means understanding the relationship between your boundaries and your beliefs about other people and yourself. Learn how to set healthy boundaries (what’s ok and not ok), honor your integrity, and make the most generous assumptions about others. As a result, you will lead with greater compassion and self-love.
