Internationally acclaimed Dr. Brené Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston and five-time New York Times best-selling author, spent the last seven years researching leadership and organisational cultures.

She interviewed 150 global C-suite level executives on the future of leadership, asking, “What, if anything, about the way people are leading today, needs to change in order for leaders to be successful in a complex, rapidly changing environment?”

Brené wrote in her 2018 book, Dare To Lead, "There's one answer across the interviews: We need braver leaders and courageous cultures.”

The most significant finding that emerged from her research is that courage is a collection of four skill sets that are 100% teachable, measurable, and observable. This is good news!

Based on this, Brené developed Dare to Lead™ an empirically based courage-building program. Leaders at all levels describe it as game-changing.

Dare to Lead™ includes facilitation, self-reflection, practical activities, dialogue, and short videos hosted by Brené on the four skill sets:

Daring leaders are self-aware, know how to have hard conversations, hold themselves and others accountable, build trust, lead with empathy and connection, take smart risks that lead to innovation, reset quickly after disappointments and setbacks, and give and receive feedback – especially when it’s tough.

Leadership is not about titles or the corner office. It’s about the willingness to step up, put yourself out there, and lean into courage. The world is desperate for braver leaders. It’s time for all of us to step up.

Let's choose courage over comfort together!
