  How do we develop braver, more daring leaders? How do we value courage to navigate change and drive performance results?

  Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program for Leaders and Change Agents. Brené Brown is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers including Dare to Lead.

  What is Dare to Lead™ Training?

  Dare to Lead™ Training focuses on building brave cultures and achieving results. 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. All four skills are covered in the training:

  1. Rumbling with Vulnerability: Daring leaders understand that vulnerability is our most accurate measure of courage. In this training we learn what vulnerability is, and isn’t, and why it’s the path to courage.
  2. Living into our Values: Daring leaders identify and operationalize the values that are most important to them and their organizations. In this training we identify the values most important to us and how to make those values come alive at work and beyond.
  3. BRAVING Trust: Daring leaders understand that trust is the foundation of everything. In this training we learn to build, maintain and repair high trust relationships using seven steps.
  4. Learning to Rise: Daring leaders know that if we are brave enough long enough, we will fall. In this training we learn the resilience of how to get back up and keep trying.

  Delivered by Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator Amy Leneker, Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator, of Compass Consulting, LLC. See more at www.AmyLeneker.com.

  Who should attend?
  

  Dare to Lead™ is for anyone interested in developing their courageous leadership skills.

  What’s included?

  • A full day training with an experienced and engaging facilitator (9 am – 4:30 pm)
  • Evidence-based curriculum designed by the Brené Brown Education and Research Group
  • Lunch included

  We are pleased to be able to offer this exciting training opportunity. Thanks to the generosity of Amy Leneker and Compass Consulting, LLC, South Sound Nonprofits have an opportunity to experience Dare to Lead™ training at a very low cost. The small registration fee is for facility rental and lunch.
