What is Dare to Lead™?
Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program designed to improve leader agility, team effectiveness, and a thriving culture.
Brené has spent two decades studying shame and more than seven years specifically looking at leadership. During her research, she interviewed leaders from all over the world—from Fortune 100 companies, non-profits, public sector entities, and more—and asked one question: what is the future of leadership?
Remarkably, their answers pointed to one thing: we need braver leaders.
We need more courage.
Sounds awesome. But how do we get it?
The most significant finding from Brené’s latest research, and the foundation of Dare to Lead™, is that courage is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable.
BUILD A BRAVER CULTURE AND DRIVE PERFORMANCE BY:
understanding how to effectively navigate vulnerability to unlock courage;
turning values from fluffy language into tangible, practical behaviours;
building a common culture of trust across your team; and
cultivating the skills to rise from setbacks and be more resilient.
Most importantly, you’ll be able to put the material into action at the program by practicing the principles with your cohort, so that you leave prepared to implement the learning in your organization.
Who should attend?
THIS CURRICULUM IS ESSENTIAL FOR TEAMS WHO WANT TO:
be better equipped to deal with difficult conversations;
reduce unhealthy and unproductive behaviour;
be more creative and innovative;
build resilience and improve alignment; and
foster a culture of accountability and trust.
THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR YOU IF:
you're in a position of leadership within your organization;
you see the potential in people and processes, and are willing to take responsibility for achieving that potential;

“I attended Dare To Lead™ with two colleagues. This is essential stuff and has had a lasting impact for us personally and professionally... We are seeing tangible results from implementing the material with the wider team. Highly recommend!”
“The most valuable learning that I have ever done. I’m so pleased I brought along my practice leaders as it’s given us a whole new vocabulary to work through the challenges we face in our mahi. This will have a huge impact on the culture of our fairly new team going forward.”

When the Dare to Lead™ research team asked senior executives around the world about the most important thing we can be cultivating, one answer stood above the rest:
“ We need braver leaders.”
We need leaders who know how to have courageous conversations.
We need leaders who are not silent about difficult things.
We need leaders who are ready and willing to show up with their whole hearts.
