Beyond Courage: Leading with Presence & Impact

Conscious Leadership for a Complex World. You've stepped into the arena. You've taken the risks. Now What?

A transformative one-day experience for Dare to Lead® graduates and leaders ready to lead with more presence, less reactivity, and sustainable impact.

This isn't another workshop. It's your next chapter.

Grounded in Brené Brown's latest research, this is what brave leadership looks like in practice.

What You'll Explore:

Brené Brown's latest research in Strong Ground reveals what most leaders miss: Courage gets you in. Presence keeps you there.

This highly interactive day combines reflection, meaningful dialogue, and research-backed tools to help you:

✓ Shift from reactive to conscious leadership—especially when the pressure's on

✓ Build sustainable impact from grounded confidence, not force or hustle

✓ Lead with intentional presence when the stakes are highest

✓ Recognise and soften armoured leadership patterns that no longer serve you

✓ Strengthen your capacity to stay clear, calm, and connected under pressure

This is experiential, not theoretical. You'll leave with practical tools you can apply Monday morning—and renewed clarity on how you want to lead next.

Who This Is For:

This experience is designed for leaders who are ready to go deeper:

✓ Dare to Lead® graduates wanting to continue the journey

✓ Senior leaders navigating high-stakes complexity, visibility, and sustained pressure

✓ Professionals ready to lead differently—with more presence, less reactivity

✓ Anyone who knows there's a next level to their brave leadership practice

You don't need to have completed Dare to Lead® recently—or at all. If you're ready to show up braver, more grounded, and more present in how you lead, this day is for you.
