Dare to Lead™ Virtual and In-Person Training & Coaching
The Ultimate Courage Building Leadership Workshop.
Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based, courage-building program that helps Leaders & Organizations create the capabilities and cultures needed to thrive in this ever-changing world.
Get Courageous offers the Dare to Lead leadership training program, designed for individuals and organizations looking to unlock their full potential. This program is based on the research of Brené Brown, a renowned expert in vulnerability and courage. Through this training, participants will learn how to develop courage, build trust, and create an inclusive culture within their teams.
Doing Brave Work
Holding Tough Conversations
Leading with Courage
The Dare to Lead™ program is based on research from Brené Brown.
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. The Dare to Lead™ program focuses on building brave cultures, courageous leadership, and driving performance by:
Living into our Values: identify what you stand for and how to show up from a place of integrity every day.
Rumbling with Vulnerability: face risk, uncertainty, and tough conversations with courage, clarity, and empathy.
BRAVING Trust: build meaningful and authentic connections with your teams, colleagues and customers so you can work together from a foundation of trust.
Learning to Rise: become aware of your emotions and stories and learn how to show up and lead with courage… even when faced with failure, disappointment, and setbacks.
Participants will explore Dr. Brené Brown’s research, learn how to connect and navigate difficult conversations, and hold others accountable for success.
Program includes:
Dare to Lead™ workbook, only available through this program
Daring Leadership Assessment; (Armored vs Daring Leadership & BRAVING Trust for intact teams)
Group Follow-up sessions
The 24-hour blended training workshop, led by Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator Leslie Mizerak, will equip participants with language, tools, and exercises to put these four skills into immediate practice.

Dare to Lead™ Coaching
Extending the work beyond the training
Dare to Lead™ training is powerful. It creates shared language, awareness, and momentum.
Coaching is what helps that momentum turn into real, sustained change.
Dare to Lead™ coaching can be used after a training to deepen learning and support application, or in place of a formal training when organizations want a more personalized, ongoing approach.
After Dare to Lead™ Training
After training, leaders often leave inspired — only to return to fast-paced, complex environments where old habits can resurface.
Dare to Lead™ coaching supports leaders as they:
Apply the concepts to real, current challenges
Practice courageous conversations in real time
Navigate vulnerability, trust, and accountability in their specific context
Build confidence using the language and tools from the training
Coaching creates space for reflection, integration, and action — helping leaders move from understanding Dare to Lead™ to living it.
Dare to Lead™ Coaching Instead of Training
In some cases, coaching is a better fit than traditional training.
Dare to Lead™ coaching may be ideal when:
Leaders want a more individualized experience
Teams are small or distributed
Time does not allow for a full training
Leaders are already familiar with Dare to Lead™ concepts - after reading the book
The focus is on applying courage to specific leadership challenges
In these engagements, coaching sessions are grounded in the Dare to Lead™ framework and enable leaders to work through real situations they face — from feedback and decision-making to trust, boundaries, and culture.
What Dare to Lead™ Coaching Looks Like
Coaching engagements can be designed for:
Individual leaders
Leadership teams
Cohorts or peer groups
Sessions are practical, reflective, and action-oriented, always aligned with the core principles of Dare to Lead™:
rumbling with vulnerability
living into values
building trust
learning to rise
A Flexible, Human Approach
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to courageous leadership.
Dare to Lead™ coaching offers a flexible way to meet leaders where they are — supporting growth, confidence, and courageous action over time, not just in a single moment.
