Dare to Lead™

The Dare to Lead Program

Based on the research of Dr Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program designed to be facilitated by organisational development professionals.

The most significant finding from Brené’s latest research is that courage is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable and observable:

  • Rumbling with Vulnerability: Facing risk, uncertainty and emotional exposure with courage and clarity
  • Living into our Values: Identifying, operationalising and practicing the beliefs that we hold most important.
  • BRAVING Trust: Creating or deepening connections in relationships and teams based on the seven elements of trust
  • Learning to Rise: Learning and growing from the failures, setbacks, and disappointments that are inevitable when we are brave with our lives

The Dare to Lead™ program focuses on developing these courage-building skills through workshops, trainings and coaching to help individuals, teams and organisations move from armoured leadership to daring leadership.

Individuals who successfully complete the full 16-hour Dare to Lead™ program will receive a certificate of completion and are permitted to put a Dare to Lead Trained Badge on their LinkedIn account.

About Dr Brené Brown

Brené is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation – Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social work.  She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy, and most recently completed a seven-year study on courageous leadership.

She is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers:  The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness and Dare to Lead, which also debuted at #1 on The Wall Street Journal and Publisher’s Weekly Lists.

 

Brené interviewed 150 global C-suite level executives on the future of leadership, asking the question: “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?”

In her book Dare to Lead, Brené noted, “There was one answer across the interviews: We need braver leaders and more courageous cultures”.

Some of the ideas that emerged from the research included:

  • Courage is contagious
  • You can’t get to courage without rumbling with vulnerability – Embrace the Suck
  • Who we are is how we lead – self-awareness and self-compassion matter
  • Clear is kind – Unclear is unkind
  • Integrity is choosing Courage over Comfort – choosing what’s right over what’s fun, fast or easy; and it’s practicing your values, not just professing them
