About the Dare to Lead Program

Dare to Lead is an empirically based courage-building program developed from the research of Dr. Brené Brown, a research professor and author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers. Over three days, the training dives into the four skill sets of courage identified through her research. Because these skill sets are 100% teachable, daring leadership isn't reserved for the naturally bold, it's within reach for anyone willing to show up bravely and help build more courageous cultures.
