What We Do

We help organizations transform workplace environments, create better functioning teams, and build healthier and more engaged employees through courage-building practices. In short, our programs are designed to humanize the workplace by humanizing individuals within the workforce.

Dare to Lead™

“The ultimate playbook for developing brave leaders and courageous workplace cultures.”

Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage building program designed by the legendary author and researcher Dr. Brené Brown. As a certified Dare to Lead Facilitator, Cheryl guides teams through Brene’s latest research that reveals courage is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable.

  1. Rumbling with Vulnerability
  2. Living into Values
  3. BRAVING Trust
  4. Learning to Rise (Resilience)
 

Leaders develop an understanding of the behaviors that characterize daring vs. armored leadership; dispel myths surrounding vulnerability; examine how shame shows up in the workplace; explore common barriers to empathy; skill up to have tough feedback conversations; and explore ways to lead in the face of failure, setbacks and/or disappointment.

About 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 organizational 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.

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. Participants who complete the full Dare to Lead™ program receive a certificate of completion and permission to place the Dare to Lead Trained badge on their LinkedIn accounts.
