Dare to Lead™ WORKSHOP

 

FALL WORKSHOPS ARE BEING PLANNED NOW. CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.

 

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt


Dare to Lead™ is based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, a research profession at the University of Houston and 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.

The most significant finding from Brené’s latest research is that courage is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable. The Dare to Lead™ program focuses on developing these courage-building skills through workshops, trainings and coaching to help individuals, teams and organizations move from armored leadership to daring leadership.

Individuals who successfully complete the full 24-hour Dare to Lead™ program will receive a certificate of completion.

The Heart of Daring Leadership

You can’t get to courage without rumbling with vulnerability. Embrace the Suck.

Self-awareness and self-love matter. Who we are is how we lead.

Courage is contagious.  To scale daring leadership and build courage in teams and organizations, we must cultivate a culture in which brave work, tough conversations, and whole hearts are the expectation, and armor is not necessary or rewarded.

The Four Skill Sets of Courage

Rumbling with Vulnerability – Developing the courage to be open with ourselves and others about how things are going and circling back when necessary

Living into Our Values – Getting clear on what matters most to us and checking to see that our actions align to our values

BRAVING Trust – Creating an environment that fosters trust by taking the first step ourselves to create authentic and inclusive connections

Learning to Rise – Getting back on our feet after a stumble or fall in a way that empowers others to take chances as well


“This workshop was an investment in the improved mental health of my organization.”
