What if You or Everyone Within
Your Organization was Shining Brightly?  
My definition of leadership has always been to create the space for others to shine.  I truly believe that everyone wants to shine but unfortunately, not everyone has been given the skill set to do so.  And without this skill-set, people are either hiding the best parts of themselves or they are acting out from their worst parts. Either way, it’s a huge loss for organizations (and our world) impacting innovation, productivity, employee engagement, financial earnings and the well-being of each and every person who walks on this planet.  Poor leadership is impacting all of us and this is why I am so passionate about the The Dare to Lead™ Program.  Because… there is another way.  

Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is the ultimate playbook for developing brave leaders and courageous cultures. Daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100% 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.
There are a variety of ways to be able to step into and embody this work.  
  • 1:1 interactive virtual training and coaching on the full, 16-hour Dare to Lead™ Curriculum*
  • Interactive and immersive workshops to deliver the full, 16-hour Dare to Lead™ Curriculum, with tailored follow-up support*
  • Tailored workshops focused on specific courage-building skills or tools
  • Keynotes on key aspects of Dare to Lead™
  • Dare to Lead book read-along with group coaching
  • Offsite retreats that foster love, belonging and connection as well as the Dare to Lead™ Curriculum

As a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator, I would love to support you in becoming a courageous leader and cultivating a culture of courage across your team, program, organization, or community.
