Key Learnings:
*This course is taught by a certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator.
- Vulnerability (uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure) is the foundational skill set of courage.
- Self-awareness plays in daring leadership.
- It's armor - not fear - that is the greatest obstacle to daring leadership.
- Four skill sets that makeup courage: rumbling with vulnerability, living into our values, BRAVING trust, and learning to rise.
- Courage is a collection of four skill sets that are measurable, observable, and teachable.
- Vulnerability is the birthplace of many of the behaviors that define daring leadership including creativity, accountability, and difficult conversations.
- Daring leadership requires sowing up for hard conversations and rumbles, including giving and receiving feedback
