Read ‘Braving the Wilderness’ with us?

Marisa Geitner, our president and C.E.O., invites you to pick up a copy of Brene Brown’s latest book, Braving the Wilderness, and join us for a conversation on Facebook.

The first 25 people who respond on Facebook and want to participate in the book club will get a free copy of the book. Watch the video below for details.

Then, after the first of the year, Marisa will host four online discussion sessions so we can learn from the book and from each other.

If it’s easier, here’s a transcript of the video:

Hello, everybody! This month we decided to try something different rather than the written blog. I recently read a book and got very excited about it so I wanted to talk with you a little bit about it today.  It’s Brene Brown’s latest book Braving the Wilderness. It is an excellent read and a quick read and as I said something I got very excited about as soon as I read it. In particular, I found it so relevant to the work that we do at Heritage Christian Services because our work is all about relationship with people.  And this book kind of brings us back and in a time in our world where maybe we’re not feeling as good about how we’re treating one another and this book kind of brings it back to ourselves and how we’re working ourselves. How we’re welcoming others into relationship with who we are and how we’re moving forward together as human kind and that just really resonated with me as relationship is the fabric of the work at Heritage Christian Services. It’s so relevant in today’s world because as I said, many of us might be feeling that we’re taking some steps backwards in how we’re treating on another and that doesn’t feel good to many of us and this book acknowledges that but also provides some strategy for how we might move through it and how we could successfully move through it and I just found it energizing. Once I started reading it I just couldn’t put it down. So, what I’d like to do is offer the opportunity for 25 people to join me in reading the book. The first 25 people who comment we’ll make sure we get the books to you give people some time to read it and then shortly after the first of the year when we’re getting ramped up and ready moving into 2018, we’ll host four, quick, online sessions of the book club where we’ll talk about really the four main chapters that she breaks this book down into and really just share our learning together share how we felt in reading the book and hopefully by that point if you’re like me you’ll already be implementing some of these exciting things and talk a little bit about the difference it’s already made for us. So I thank you for the opportunity to share some of the excitement that I have today related to this book and I look forward to enjoying more conversation with some of you after the first of the year.
