Dare to Lead™ Training

TWO DAYS. TWENTY LEADERS. ONE OPPORTUNITY TO AUTHENTICALLY TRANSFORM THE WAY YOU LEAD.

There will always be challenges. Processes break down. Frameworks and systems become more cumbersome than helpful. Personalities battle. Company morale is stressed. Priorities unexpectedly and unrealistically shift. The pace is unrelenting. Everything is constantly changing. Yet, you keep pushing ahead, because as a leader you must:

Be confident and lead through uncertainty especially when you don’t know the way
Make good decisions without having the answers
Care about those you lead enough to give them honest feedback
Problem solve without creating learned helplessness
Prioritize under pressure when you are overwhelmed and given more to do
Be resilient when perpetually knocked down by setbacks without the time to get back up
Care for your health and well-being and have a life outside of work

Sound familiar? And exhausting? The simple truth is these conditions will continue to be true. Learning to lead with courage and grounded confidence — with resilience you build inside yourself; with a shared trust and vulnerability with those you work with; with the bravery to continuously step into discomfort — these are the durable skills and tools that will equip you to thrive in the demands you face every day as a leader at work and in your life.
