What is the Rising StrongTM Workshop?
This interactive workshop is based on research professor and New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Brené Brown’s, groundbreaking research and book, Rising Strong. During the workshop, we will learn positive, proactive tools and strategies to live a more resilient and wholehearted life. We will hear about and discuss what it takes to get back up after failure. And, we will learn how owning our stories of disappointment and heartbreak give us the power to write a daring new ending. This workshop is designed to bring people together and to learn from expert research and each other in a supportive environment.
To benefit from this workshop, it is not necessary to read Brené Brown’s latest book, Rising Strong. Our facilitator, Cindy Reed, LCSW will guide us through the main points of the book and provide opportunities to integrate and process the information personnally.
If you would like to learn more about Brené Brown, she has a powerful TED talk about “the power of vulnerability”. You may also want to check out another one of her TED talks, “Why your critics aren’t the ones who count.”
