Dare to Lead™

The ultimate playbook for anyone who wants to step up and into courageous leadership.

Based on the latest research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program. The most significant finding from her latest research is that courage is a collection of four teachable, measurable and observable skill sets:

  • Rumbling with Vulnerability

    Facing risk, uncertainty, and emotional exposure with courage, clarity and grounded confidence.

  • Living Into Our Values

    Identifying, operationalizing, and practicing the beliefs that we hold most important.

  • BRAVING Trust

    Strengthening connections in relationships and teams based on the seven elements of trust.

  • Learning to Rise

    Growing from the setbacks and disappointments that are inevitable when we are brave with our lives.

Who is a leader?

Brené Brown defines a leader as “anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes and has the courage to develop that potential.”

Leadership is not about a title or authority. It is the willingness to ask the right questions, stay curious and connect with people without knowing the outcome. Brave leaders are self-aware enough to lead from their hearts and not from fear.
