We deliver the Dare to Lead™ program for individuals who want to become brave leaders and organisations who want to create courageous cultures.
About Dare to Lead™
Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program designed to be facilitated by organisational development professionals. Phillip Ralph, CEO of The Leadership Sphere, is a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator. We add to the core program content to address specific leadership challenges faced in organisations.
The program is available to individuals through public courses and to organisations that want in-house programs via either face-to-face workshops or online classes. Individuals who successfully complete the full 24-hour program will receive a certificate of completion and are allowed to put the Dare to Lead™ Trained badge on their LinkedIn account.
About Brené
Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work. Brené is also a visiting professor in management at The University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business.
She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy, is the author of six #1 New York Times bestsellers, and is the host of the weekly Spotify Original podcasts Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead.
Brené’s books have been translated into more than 30 languages and titles include: Atlas of the Heart, Dare to Lead, Braving the Wilderness, Rising Strong, Daring Greatly, and The Gifts of Imperfection. With Tarana Burke, she co-edited the bestselling anthology You Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black Experience.
Her TED talk – The Power of Vulnerability – is one of the top five most viewed TED talks in the world with over 50 million views. She is also the first researcher to have a filmed lecture on Netflix. The Call to Courage special debuted on the streaming service in April 2019. Brené lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, Steve. They have two children, Ellen and Charlie.
The most significant learning within the Dare to Lead™ program is that courage is a collection of four skill sets that are teachable, measurable and observable. The Dare to Lead™ program focuses on developing these courage-building skills through workshops, trainings, and coaching to help individuals, teams, and organisations move from armoured leadership to daring leadership.
“You will be challenged to become a more vulnerable leader, to lead with values, build trust and rise above setbacks.”

What people say about the Dare to Lead™ program
What will you get out of Dare to Lead™?
Take time out to re-connect with yourself as a leader
You are probably thinking to yourself, when was the last time I took time out of my busy day to day personal and professional life, to reconnect with myself and spend time reflecting on what matters most, and that is you as a leader!
Be brave in ways you have never been before
You will explore bravery as an individual and a leader and get a deeper understanding about brave leadership being the willingness to act during times of uncertainty, to do what is right over what is easy, and to risk falling short in the process.
Find courage when things get tough
You will explore courage through a new lens and walk away with new ways of building courageous cultures that enable us to be brave, have tough conversations and create an environment where people can share their thoughts openly with others.
Integrate your unique values into day-to-day life
You will work on yourself and explore what is most important to you as a person and as a leader and reinforce that values-based leadership is about living and leading with values that direct and motivate others to do their best and that inspires everyone to contribute to the greater good.
Re-establish trust with yourself and others
You will undertake due diligence into what makes you angry or shuts you down (yes this happens to all of us!) and understand the connection with feelings such as worry, guilt, and shame. A connection is then made with what it takes to build a high trust organisation where we can confidently rely on ourselves and others to do the right thing.
Relearn the importance of self-compassion and empathy
What you will find is that self-compassion is often lacking when it comes to the fast-paced world we live in. You will learn techniques to be more understanding of yourself and others and the power of empathy, as you become more aware that everyone is doing the best we can as we learn about life!
