Brene Brown: Trust = B.R.A.V.I.N.G. | Cindy Jobs

If I could love someone I’ve never met, it would be Brene Brown. I can not appreciate enough the power of her insights.

I’ve read her books. I’ve watched her TED talks on vulnerability and shame. I’ve listened to her numerous times as a podcast guest.

Most recently, I listened to Oprah’s Super Soul Conversation where Brene Brown tackled the issue of trust. The conversation is only 24 minutes long and provides mountains of thought-provoking perspectives.

My major takeaways:

What events do you consider “marble jar” moments? (research shows the #1 moment is something you may not even consider @8:10)
Who are your “marble jar” friends?
John Gottman (Professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Washington): “Trust is built in very small moments, . . . “
Charles Feltman: ” . . . trust is defined as choosing to risk making something you value vulnerable to another person’s actions.” (check out the full quote here)
Here is Brene Brown’s definition of trust:
- B = Boundaries
- R = Reliability
- A = Accountability
- V = Vault
- I = Integrity
- N = Non-judgement
- G = Generosity
Trust is not just for others, but more importantly for ourselves.

Ms. Brown ends her presentation with a thought-provoking quote from Maya Angelou:

“I don’t trust people who don’t love themselves and tell me, ‘I love you.’ … There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.”

I encourage you to listen. I guarantee you will learn something about yourself and your relationships.
