Leadership (& Human) Skill Development Resources

Practicing Awareness

• The Neuroscience of Flourishing 10% Happier Podcast w/Dan Harris. Covers it all in one conversation: how our reactions are protective mechanisms (often overused) and how shifting to awareness is a rich field for self-discovery.

• Strong Ground by Brene Brown + this on the Above/Below the Line Practice

• Annalise’s Substack Not So Basic Basics. This one’s FULL of gold. I love the part about metacognition and thinking about how you think.
