New Dates have just been announced for our next Dare to Lead™ Courage Building

Check out the next offering of our Dare to Lead™ Learning Event – starting October 9 – November 27, 2025, seven modules of 2.75 hours each.

Dates: October 9, 16, 23 & 30 & Nov. 6, 20 & 27, 8-10:45 PT or 9-11:45 MT

This virtual learning event is based on the newest research of Brené Brown and the more than 100,000 people who have completed this courage-building program. New insights, new tools, and a 24-hour curriculum instead of 16 hours (more goodness). By attending the program, you will be granted a Dare to Lead™ Trained Certificate and Badge to continue using these practical tools in your own work situations, teams, groups and with your clients, and you will also receive a lovely start up gift kit!

If you’d like more information, pricing, etc. contact me or use the connection box below and receive my leadership blogs.

Yours in courageous leadership

Byron Katie is the author of Loving What Is, and her core insight is simple: it’s not situations that cause our suffering, it’s the thoughts we believe about the situations. As she puts it: “I discovered that when I believed my thoughts I suffered, but when I didn’t believe them I didn’t suffer […]” She goes further to suggest, “suffering is optional.” That got my attention!
