Breaking the Silence
Free companion workbook · Welcome to Brave Proximity
Every brave conversation starts somewhere. This guide is the companion to the very first Brave Proximity episode — the one that sets out why Marissa Green and Susan Page built this podcast, what they're tired of, and what becomes possible when leaders stop performing and start telling the truth. Use it to name what you've been keeping quiet and take the first step toward saying the real thing.
