About the Program and Brené's Work

She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. The most significant finding from Brené’s latest research is that courage is a collection of these four skill sets that are teachable, measurable, and observable.

Since 2019, Leadology has facilitated multiple Dare to Lead™ programs across thousands of employees.
“Dare to Lead taught me how to communicate more effectively without fear. It taught me that it’s OK to feel vulnerable but also how to move through it. I learned how to address tough conversations rather than tapping out.”
“I’ve never felt stronger, and although the situation I’m dealing with is painful, I see things clearer and calmer because of the courage skills and rumble tools I gained from Dare to Lead. I went through this program almost 2 years ago, and I most recently used the tools about 2 weeks ago.”
Your Dare to Lead™ Facilitator
Meet Carrie Skowronski
Diffuse. Circle back. Create clarity. I’ve been on the manager’s journey and worked with a variety of people. To say that difficult conversations require courage would be putting it mildly. That’s why I became a Dare to Lead™ Facilitator. I wholeheartedly believe that conflict is central to progress and that leaning into these conversations creates possibility for everyone involved.
Many leaders start this journey after completing CliftonStrengths or Activate with me: this program stacks seamlessly with that work. If you’re starting fresh, know that I’m here as your trusted advocate as you step into new self-awareness, uncover your own stories, and awaken the leader within you.
