Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It’s a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time.

It's daily brave work, tough conversations, and wholehearted engagement. As author says: 'You can't get to courage without rumbling with vulnerability.' That's how we lead, not by avoiding fear, but facing it.
