Rumbling with Vulnerability – Learn the myths of vulnerability, and define vulnerability as uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. Understand the role of courage and vulnerability in daring leadership.
Shame – Define shame and understand the physiology of it. Learn to recognize how shame, scarcity, and comparison show up in the workplace and how they affect engagement, trust, and connection.

Learn how to use the BRAVING inventory to understand and discuss the elements of trust: Boundaries, Reliability, Accountability, Value, Integrity, Non-judgment, and Generosity.
Learning to Rise – Discuss how the brain is wired for stories, how this influences the development of stories that are not true, and how these stories can affect our behavior. Recognize common strategies for offloading hurt, and learn more effective behaviors for managing emotion.

Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program designed to be facilitated by organizational development professionals.
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.
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. The Dare to Lead™ program focuses on developing these courage-building skills through workshops, trainings, and coaching to help individuals, teams, and organizations move from armored leadership to daring leadership.

After receiving feedback from DTL trainers and thousands of participants, Brené Brown and her team revised the Dare to Lead™ course. The new format provides 24 hours of instruction and includes participant pre-work for a better, more in-depth learning experience.
