Facilitated Team Training
Dare to Lead & Daring Classrooms
for Schools
We believe everyone is a leader AND who we are is how we lead. This workshop equips your team with the tools to cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and teaches you how to embed the value of courage in your culture.
“A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people, processes, and ideas and has the courage to develop that potential.”
Dare to Lead for Schools empowers educators and school leaders to create daring classrooms that foster courage, vulnerability, values, trust, and resiliency. Developed by renowned researcher and speaker Dr. Brené Brown, this transformative curriculum enables you to inspire and empower your students through courageous teaching and leadership.
The curriculum is an empirically based courage-building program based on the most significant findings from Dr. Brown’s latest research which points to the fact that courage is a collection of four teachable, measurable, and observable skill sets.
Our Approach

Intuitive and interactive facilitation will guide the group through the actionable and measurable skill sets of daring leadership. This workshop can be delivered both virtually or in person and over the course of 6-8 weeks in shorter sessions or through 3 back-to-back full-day sessions. The experience involves 24 hours of learning.
