Dare to Lead™ 4-Day Intensive: Portland, Oregon, August 13-16, 2024

"Who we are is how we lead.” ~ Brené Brown

Brené Brown, Ph.D., defines a leader as “anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.” Leadership spans beyond title and sector; it is about showing up and leaning into courage in small moments and when the stakes are high. We all have the potential to lead courageously in our families, schools, organizations, businesses, and communities. Dare to Lead ™ supports you in developing the skills and qualities essential for growing and thriving as a brave and effective leader in your professional and personal arenas.

About The Dare To Lead™ Program

Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program designed for leaders from various fields and backgrounds.

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.

Skill Set 1: Rumbling with Vulnerability - Facing risk, uncertainty, and emotional exposure with courage and clarity.

Skill Set 2: Living into Our Values - Identifying, operationalizing, and practicing the beliefs that we, as individuals, hold most important.

Skill Set 3: BRAVING Trust - Creating or deepening connections in relationships and teams based on the seven elements of trust.

Skill Set 4: Learning to Rise - Learning and growing from the failures, setbacks, and disappointments that are inevitable when we are brave with our lives.

Individuals who successfully complete the full 24-hour Dare to Lead™ program delivered by a certified facilitator receive a certificate of completion and the Dare to Lead™ Trained badge for LinkedIn.
