The Program

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 LeadTM program focuses on developing these courage building skills through workshops, trainings, and coaching to help individuals, teams, and organizations move from armoured leadership to daring leadership.

Individuals who successfully complete the full 24-hour Dare to LeadTM program will receive a certificate of completion and are allowed to put the Dare to Lead Trained badge on their LinkedIn account.

“Laurie is a great presenter and engaging trainer. Very thought-provoking discussions over the weeks. The virtual format worked great, as it allowed me time to “soak” in all of the materials.”
“Virtual sessions and community building with the small-sized group was amazing. I had waited a long time to take this training with Laurie and she did not disappoint! Exceptional facilitator and leader!”
“It was great talking to everyone and being able to talk so openly about things. I’ve met some new people and really bonded with them during our conversations. It was also practice to break out of my comfort zone.”
