Courage Skill-Building Program

Dare to Lead™ is a courage-building program for individuals and groups developed by Dr. Brené Brown. This program teaches the foundational skills that enable leaders to do the hard things that they must do but often avoid — initiate difficult conversations, make the best decision even when it’s unpopular, and choose what is right over what is fast or easy.

Sabrina Moon was selected, trained and continually evaluated by Brené Brown as a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator and can bring Brené's research on courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy into your organization or school. She works across diverse industries, including industrial and law enforcement agencies, providing workshops that focus on developing courage-building skills, and teaching individuals and teams how to move from armored leadership to daring leadership.

How does Dare to Lead™ help me or my organization?

The Dare to Lead™ leadership development program is a skills based, action oriented program/playbook that develops leaders in courage-building skills. Imagine a workplace where leaders can have hard, respectful conversations, build trust through genuine connection and tend to fears and feelings of individuals.

Dare to Lead™ teaches leaders how to lead with whole hearts and manage uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure. Who we are is how we lead.

What are The 4 Skills of Courage?

  1. Rumbling with Vulnerability: This means it's time to show up and have a real conversation even if it's messy. Lean into and stick with the tough conversations. To do this, you need courage, and there is no courage without vulnerability.

  2. Living Into Your Values: This means you know your values and we not only profess them, but we practice them. It's important to be clear about the things we find important, and make sure our behaviors align.

  3. BRAVING Trust: Trust is a learned skill and in this training uses the seven essential elements: Boundaries, Reliability, Accountability, Vault, Integrity, Non-judgment, and Generosity aka, B.R.A.V.I.N.G.

  4. Learning to Rise: This means, as leaders, we need to recognize we are also human. When we take risks, we occasionally mess up. Resilience is critical to daring leadership. So, dust off and go again!

What does courage skill building look like?

When you participate in a workshop, not only is there time for individual processing but also shared group processing, skills practice (e.g., practicing feedback) and integration through intentional activities that help your body connect, feel and process.

Because Brené’s research is empirically based, it means this data has been collected over many years from people like you. The program has been tested repeatedly for efficacy. Spending time with a group of individuals who you have never met can be powerful. The same is true for an intact team, who know each other and who have history. This research helps us humanize one another. You will be building grounded confidence in real time.

  • Who we are is how we lead.

  • You can choose courage or you can choose comfort but you cannot have both.

  • Daring leaders, who live into their values, are never silent about hard things.

  • Integrity is choosing courage over comfort, and practicing your values, not just professing them.
