This is a courage-building workshop. COURAGE is one of the most requested traits in leaders today. Our work requires us to lead more courageously, leading to sustainable and equity-driven transformation. Based on almost a decade of research, Dr. Brené Brown details in her latest book, Dare to Lead, that courageous leadership involves four distinct skill-sets that can be taught, measured and observed. This work has the power to change individuals, teams and organizations to meet the increasing demands of our schools and organizations and teaches us how to be braver with our lives. Dare to Lead™ provides trainable, observable, and measurable skills - operationalizing courage, trust-building, empathy, and leadership. Brené defines a leader as, “Anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes AND has the courage to develop that potential.” Isn’t that our work? Isn’t it what most of us are called to do every day? In this workshop, we will assess our own level of courage, engage in activities to cultivate more courage, and be provided replicable protocols of how we can further develop more courageous cultures in our schools and organizations.
