Dare to Lead™Developing Brave Leaders & Courageous Cultures
Based on the research of Dr Brené Brown
What is Dare to Lead™?
Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program for leaders and change agents, grounded in over ten years of research by Dr Brené Brown. The book became a #1 New York Times bestseller, drawing on 400,000 pieces of data and interviews with 150 C-suite leaders on the future of leadership.
