Management and Leadership The Daring Way™ - Wholehearted Living and Leadership About the Daring Way™ The Daring Way™ is a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. The method was designed for work with individuals, couples, families, work teams and organizational leaders. It can be facilitated in clinical, educational and professional settings. During the process we explore topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame and worthiness. We examine the thoughts, emotions and behaviours that are holding us back and we identify the new choices and practices that will move us toward more authentic and wholehearted living. The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and developing daily practices that transform the way we live, love, parent and lead.

THE DARING WAY™ | Copyright © 2013 by Brené Brown, LLC

Learning Outcomes

Choose an area for exploration in your Daring Way™ work and engage in experiential learning exercises to: • Explore vulnerability as the source of risk, innovation and creativity • Connect authenticity with wholehearted living and leadership • Examine courage and the myths of vulnerability • Understand the metaphor of “the arena” related to topics including uncertainty, risk, trust, courage, compassion and connection • Clarify values to promote personal and professional leadership

Program Completion

The 15-hour course will run over a weekend beginning on Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday.

Jeffrey Jones

When Jeff moved up to a supervisory role at his company his boss suggested that he “polish up his skills” as he transitioned into a leadership role with his former colleagues.

“I liked learning about the cultural part of leadership, interacting in the workplace,” he says. “You can show leadership from any position and get noticed.” No matter what he puts his mind to, Jeff gives it his all.
