When companies tell their people to “bring their whole selves to work,” Shelley Brown sees a mistake. It’s that platitude we think we have to say, a slogan on our culture website page, the lingo that looks good in an annual report.
But here’s a secret: Leaders don’t really want their people to bring their full selves to work or else they’d have employees who curse like sailors and some who like to wear Pokémon PJs to staff meetings. And our employees don’t really want that either.
Authenticity isn’t really about letting your freak flag fly at work. There’s a difference between authenticity and unfiltered. Today’s employees don’t want authenticity as much as they want the safety that gives them a choice for how much authenticity they bring to work. We don’t have a choice about skin color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and any number of other things that make us, us. But we can choose what we share about who we are, what we value, and where we want to grow when we’re at work.
Brown call’s this The Belonging Equation: Safety + Choice = Belonging.
When we experience a sense of belonging, it lights up our lives, our work, our leadership, so that we can thrive personally and professionally and impact the success of our organizations.
Brown is an award-winning international speaker, pop artist, author, corporate veteran, and mindfulness educator. She’ll captivate and teach your audience to show up for their teams so that everyone feels like they belong.
When Brown gets on stage – usually in a couture gown that shows off her own authentic choices -- your audience learns how to walk their W.E.I.R.D. (Welcoming, Engaging, Integrating, Risk-taking, and Delivering) to create your greatest organizational culture.
She’s been told that if Glennon Doyle and Lucille Ball stirred their DNA into a big gluten-free cake sprinkled with Brené Brown, she would pop out. Brown tells relatable stories from the corporate trenches, back when she had groupies for my rockstar outgoing voicemail messages, inviting audiences to self-reflect and laugh. She helps audiences recognize how incredible it feels when we honor the W.E.I.R.D. so we can truly feel safe, engaged, and connected.
The author of “Weird Girl Adventures,” she has “brought the weird” to keynote stages across the globe. Enchanted and inspired clients include: Accor Hotels, Benchmark Electronics, United Airlines, Global Business Travel Association, Marriott Hotels, Meeting Planner International, National Tour Association, the Self-Employed Summit, Southeast Tourism Society, UPS, and the Women’s Leading Travel and Hospitality.
When Downtown Shelley Brown gets on stage, your audience will learn how to walk their W.E.I.R.D. and create your greatest organizational culture.
Let’s get W.E.I.R.D. together.
