Join us for Dare to Lead where leaders gather to unlock their full potential.
Do you find your team (or yourself)?
- Avoiding tough conversations (i.e. giving honest, productive feedback) either because of a lack of courage, lack of training, or a cultural norm of “nice and polite”?
- Spending an unreasonable amount of time managing problematic behaviors instead of acknowledging fears and feelings that arise during change and upheaval?
- Not enough smart risk taking or bold ideas because of a fear of being put down or ridiculed for trying something new and failing, causing status quo and groupthink?
- Getting stuck and defined by setbacks, disappointments and failures and spending too much time and energy reassuring team members who question their contribution and value?
- Rushing to ineffective or unsustainable solutions rather than staying with problem identification and solving. We fix the wrong thing for the wrong reason; the same problems continue to surface in a costly and demoralizing way?
- Organizational values are fuzzy and are aspirational rather than actual behaviors that can be taught, measured, and evaluated?
- Perfectionism and fear are keeping people from learning and growing?
We believe everyone has the potential to be a leader AND who we are is how we lead.
Our certified workshop equips your team with the tools to cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and teaches you how to embed the value of courage in your culture.
This program is an empirically based courage-building program based on the most significant findings from Dr. Brené Brown’s latest research which points to the fact that courage is a collection of four teachable, measurable, and observable skill sets.
Our team will lead you through a dynamic experience to unpack and apply the four skill sets in service of unlocking your impact as a leader.
“A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people,
processes, and ideas and has the courage to develop that potential.”
-Dr. Brené Brown
