Norms

Courage
Can't be afraid to fail

Shame
Learn about all the others from studying shame
Shame is the gremlin that says you're not good enough
Shame - never good enough
Shame focuses on yourself not on your behavior; guilt focuses on your behavior
Shame is correlated to addiction, bullying, suicide
Guilt is inversely correlated to those things
For men - shame is not be perceived as weak
For women - it's a straight jacket
Shame is an epidemic in our culture

Vulnerability
Most accurate measurement of courage
Birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change
To create is to make something that has never existed before

Empathy
The anti-shame
Shame and empathy cannot exist together

Forgiveness
To find our way back to each other, vulnerability is the path
