BWIT - Dare to Lead: A Framework for Courageous Leadership

Description

Dare to Lead^TM:  A Framework for Courageous Leadership

Leaders today are called to manage uncertainty and complexity, navigate the unrelenting pace of change, meet an insatiable need for innovation, stay grounded with seemingly unmanageable changes and constantly shifting goals and expectations, and lead people through discomfort.

Courageous leadership is essential to meeting these demands today...and into the future. This workshop introduces the four skill sets of courageous leadership, identified in Dr. Brené Brown’s research.  These skills, which are teachable, measurable, and observable, include: Rumbling with Vulnerability, Living into our Values, BRAVING Trust, and Learning to Rise. Participants will have an opportunity to identify where they want to be more courageous in their own leadership.

This event will be virtual. Webinar Information will be released in event reminder emails.
