Series includes Dr. Brené Brown’s new book Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience
This workshop series is designed to introduce you to brave leadership. It is based on 20 years of Dr. Brené Brown's research and will be held weekly for 22 sessions covering the Dare to LeadTM 36-hour curriculum. Each week new material will be presented from the Dare to LeadTM curriculum with training, facilitated breakout sessions, discussions, and self-reflection questions. You’ll get so much out of each action-packed workshop.
We are all leaders, whether in our communities, families, organizations, or the world. During this introductory workshop, you will learn what it is going to take to be a brave leader who helps facilitate a courageous culture among those you lead.
Who Should Attend?
This program is appropriate for military and veteran survivors who are one year out from loss wanting to bring more courage to their workplace, home, community, or schools. It is applicable for both formal and informal leaders (all of us), executives, visionaries, healers across all spectrums.
