We also talk about Cal Newport’s Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World to learn about how to reduce busywork and increase purposeful work. Some of the questions we discussed after reading the section of Dare to Lead were: 1) Did you make any resolutions for 2020? Why/why not? 2) What are some markers of success to you? 3) What is failure to you? 4) Are failures the opposite of successes? 5) How can failures be useful to you? 6) Brene Brown talks a lot about the connections between failure, shame and vulnerability.
