Dare to Lead™ – Based on the research of Brené Brown

Facilitated by Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator, Leah Brown

Daring leadership requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. It requires that we stay curious, lean into difficult conversations, and be vulnerable instead of armoring up. The Dare to Lead™ program dives into the future of leadership, ethical decision making and organizational success through the lens of bravery and courage by tackling the four skill sets of brave leadership.

  • Rumbling with Vulnerability
  • Living Into Our Values
  • BRAVING Trust
  • Learning to Rise

Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program designed to be facilitated by organizational development professionals. Brené is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation – Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy, and most recently completed a seven-year study on courageous leadership. She is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers: The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness, and Dare to Lead, which also debuted at #1 on The Wall Street Journal and Publisher’s Weekly lists.

From Classroom to Virtual

The world of training is shifting.

We can get you there.

Questions we can answer:

  • How do you keep people from doing email and “stuff”?
  • What if the participants need to ask questions?
  • How will I know they are getting it?
  • What should I look for when choosing a virtual training platform?
  • Do you have to be a tech genius to “drive that thing”?
