Dare to Lead Consulting

cultivate equity, inclusion, and belonging

The world needs leaders who are willing to model transparency, vulnerability, and authenticity—foundational skills for cultivating conditions of equity, inclusion, and belonging.  As a support to your organizational equity transformation, the curriculum developed by BBERG (the Brené Brown Educational and Research Group) can strengthen your leadership skills and tools toward daring leadership.

what is courage?

Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program. The most significant finding from Brené’s latest research is that courage is composed of the following four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable.

  • Rumbling with Vulnerability:

    We lean into vulnerability, stay curious and generous, and circle back when necessary

  • Living into Your Values:

    We do more than profess our values, we practice them. We walk our talk—we are clear about what we believe and hold important, and we take care that our intentions, words, thoughts, and behaviors align with those beliefs.

  • BRAVING Trust:

    We understand the elements of trust and can identify when we—and others—are out of alignment. We shift from unproductive power dynamics to authentic and inclusive connection.

  • Learning to Rise:

    We create space to fail—for ourselves and others. We own our stories and sift through the discomfort, risk, and emotional exposure of vulnerability in service to connection, creativity, and courage.

As a trained facilitator, I can co-facilitate the full Dare to Lead™ curriculum (24 hours) or do an 3-5 hour introductory session for your full or leadership teams.

As part of coaching opportunities, I also offer Dare to Lead Coaching for individual leaders.

(Currently, the Dare To Lead sessions and coaching are being re-tooled by Brené Brown and BetterUp and will return at the end of Summer 2025)
