Bárbara Palacios, Miss Universe 1986, Miss Venezuela, and hailed by People en Español as one of the 25 most powerful and influential women of 2014, author and international speaker, opens her heart and shares memories and personal stories from her globe-trotting career as a public figure. Women want to know how to be a good mom, a good friend, a good wife, an excellent professional, and a woman of faith. The author fields questions about these roles all the time. Palacios uses each story as a stepping stone to teach about these topics. She also speaks to women about taboo subjects like domestic violence, facing failure, defending children from abortion, female leadership, and faith in God. The author chose the title of her book to tell women that they can and should dare to be brave and daring to defend values, principles, ethics, and virtues, and to unleash the potential of their talents. She also chose the title as a way of telling her reader, "Dare to discover who you are and be that woman, according to God's original design for you." Palacios wraps up the book by sharing the practices that have made her the woman she is, practices she hopes will help others. She addresses health, internal beauty, faith, and the leadership of entrepreneurial women. She closes the book by telling the story of founding her own organization, called Ser Mujer Líder y Emprendedora Está de Moda [Being a Female Entrepreneurial Leader Is in Vogue], and describing the conferences they have held since 2016 and that she hopes to take around the world soon. In this book, the author seeks to help women leave the past behind and focus on leaving their mark.

In her #1 NYT bestsellers, Brené Brown taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and developing that potential. This is a book for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead. When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it and work to align authority and accountability. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into the vulnerability that’s necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture that's defined by scarcity, fear and uncertainty requires building courage skills, which are uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the same time we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection and courage to start. Brené Brown spent the past two decades researching the emotions that give meaning to our lives. Over the past seven years, she found that leaders in organisations ranging from small entrepreneurial start-ups and family-owned businesses to non-profits, civic organisations and Fortune 50 companies, are asking the same questions: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? And, how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? Dare to Lead answers these questions and gives us actionable strategies and real examples from her new research-based, courage-building programme. Brené writes, ‘One of the most important findings of my career is that courage can be taught, developed and measured. Courage is a collection of four skill sets supported by twenty-eight behaviours. All it requires is a commitment to doing bold work, having tough conversations and showing up with our whole hearts. Easy? No. Choosing courage over comfort is not easy. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and work. It's why we're here.’
