Brene Brown Connections Quotations

In order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen, really seen.

What makes something better is connection.

I now see how gifts like courage, compassion, and connection only work when they are exercised. Every day.

To live with courage, purpose, and connection - to be the person whom we long to be - we must again be vulnerable. We must ... show up, and let ourselves be seen.

Cool is the emotional straightjacket. It makes us less available for connection which makes us less equipped for leadership roles.

Connection, the ability to feel connected, is neurobiologically wired, that’s why we’re here!

The one thing that keeps us out of connection is our fear that we're not worthy of connection.

The truth is, rarely can a response make something better - what makes something better is connection.

Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.... Vulnerability is the birthplace of connection and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn't feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive.

Empathy fuels connection; sympathy drives disconnection.
