‘When this book was recommended to me, I was struggling to embrace my own influencing style at work and be comfortable with who I am and what makes me me.

We’re conditioned from a young age to think that vulnerability is something we should be ashamed and embarrassed of. But Brown showed me that it’s fine to be me and that, actually, my vulnerability and openness is one of my biggest strengths.

Acknowledging that was a lightbulb moment for me, and it’s made a really positive impact on my self-belief.’
