Grow ing Your Digital Media and Protecting It While being the first-ever Exec utive Communications Manager for a national child welfare nonprofit\, Kr isty Alberty hit the ground running to learn brand management and to bet ter develop the organization's strategy to use photographs to tell their story.

In Daring Greatly\, based o n twelve years of pioneering research\, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cult ural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is\, in trut h\, our most accurate measure of courage. \;\n \;\nSimilarly\, in Being Wrong\, journalist Kathryn Schulz argues that error is the fundame ntal human condition and should be celebrated as such. In this view\, er ror is both a given and a gift – one that can transform our worldviews\, our relationships\, and\, most profoundly\, ourselves. \;\n \;\nD aring Greatly and Being Wrong were made for each other. Join Deeple Pate l and Melody Dawn for a discussion and exploration of these two powerful books and their endless takeaways. Most of us avoid the topics of being wrong and vulnerable\, but these two authors have laid out the undeniab le reasons for why it is so beneficial for us to push past this fear and discomfort. Whether you read one\, both or some portion of these books\ , you are welcome in the conversation. \;\n \;\nCome ready to shar e your unique perspective and learn from others’ experiences. \;\n 3\;\nPDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering: educati onal programs\, partnerships\, mentorships\, resources and opportunities .
