HONING YOUR BRAVE
What is it that allows us to be and bring our best, most authentic and powerful selves—to be brave—when the stakes feel high and life feels uncertain? How do we tap into our hidden genius and become more than we ever envisioned for ourselves? Drawing from years of working with leaders of all experience levels and industries and the latest research in psychology, sociology, business, and the arts, author Kimberly Davis demystifies what it takes to be step into your brave and make an impact.
Featuring Kimberly Davis, author of Brave Leadership and owner of OnStage Leadership

Mostly Dead Things is A New York Times Bestseller and 2019 Best Book of the Year: New York Times, NPR, The New Yorker, TIME, Washington Post, Oprahmag.com, Thrillist, Shelf Awareness, Good Housekeeping and more.
What does it take to come back to life? For Jessa-Lynn Morton, the question is not an abstract one. In the wake of her father’s suicide, Jessa has stepped up to manage his failing taxidermy business while the rest of the Morton family crumbles. Her mother starts sneaking into the taxidermy shop to make provocative animal art, while her brother, Milo, withdraws. And Brynn, Milo’s wife—and the only person Jessa’s ever been in love with—walks out without a word. It’s not until the Mortons reach a tipping point that a string of unexpected incidents begins to open up surprising possibilities and second chances. But will they be enough to salvage this family, to help them find their way back to one another? Kristen Arnett’s breakout bestseller is a darkly funny family portrait; a peculiar, bighearted look at love and loss and the ways we live through them together.
Kristen Arnett is a queer fiction and essay writer. She won the 2017 Coil Book Award for her debut short fiction collection, Felt in the Jaw, and was awarded Ninth Letter’s 2015 Literary Award in Fiction. Her debut novel, Mostly Dead Things, is now available in paperback from Tin House. She lives in Florida.

Register in advance for this Zoom meeting:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0pcOytqD8jE9cHBjGDIoufsBMcQ1LFaUYC
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Capacity for the live workshop is limited but the meeting will be recorded and made available to registrants.
During our time together, we will talk about the myth of writing everyday, the expansive definition of “actually writing,” and why deadlines don’t work (even when they do). We will also experiment in real time with practices that support writers through difficult or uncertain times, giving you a set of tools to take home so that writing can be integrated into your life in a lasting, satisfactory way.
