Learn how to be a more courageous leader on a Dare to Lead™ Training Workshop.
Brené Brown –
Dare to Lead™ is a leadership development workshop that will challenge you, your team, and your organisation to dig into courage – personally and collectively. The training gives participants the knowledge, skills and language to transform the way they show up, engage with others, and do their work. Engaging with the content will surprise, stretch and challenge you in ways you never expected.
About The Dare To Lead™ Program
Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program, based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. The programme is designed to help individuals, teams, and organisations move from armoured leadership to daring leadership.
The most significant finding from Brené Brown’s latest research is that courage is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable.
As a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator, Dr Nadine Mayers focuses on developing these courage-building skills through workshops, training, and coaching.
Why Courageous Leadership?
We live in a post-heroic leadership context, yet most of our role models still adhere to, and model a heroic leadership style. Dare to Lead™ teaches an alternative leadership style for the post-heroic era and brings participants to greater levels of self awareness about their own armoured/heroic styles, teaches the empirical research and reasons behind taken-for-granted behaviours, and transfers new skills and language to help individuals and teams be more courageous.
Dare to Lead™ is human-centric, purpose-, and productivity driven, and addresses the deep seated challenges of dwindling trust and employee engagement levels (among others) in organisations where tough conversations, creativity and innovation are espoused values, but not necessarily a lived reality.

- “All in all one of the best leadership courses I have attended.”
- “The content is really revolutionary. It takes real effort and change in thinking to apply. But I have been able to improve the manner in which I conduct myself.”
- “I have truly valued the principles learned in Dare to Lead and have implemented these since having attended the course. I can see the benefits in the trust my team now has in me as their leader from a professional and personal point of view.”
- “This course has been so enlightening and the change it has meant to me – especially personally – has been challenging but very insightful…”
