Brave Church. Courageous Cultures.
Let’s Dare to Lead.
Why “Dare To Lead”?
- It integrates your heart, mind, and actions. Wesley may have called this the “and” of personal piety and social holiness.
- It will change the way you show up and lead others to follow Jesus
- It teaches adaptive leadership. (Versus tactical leadership.)
- It provides a toolbox for you to use to create a courageous culture that empowers people at every level of the organization
- It addresses our need for emotional intelligence
- It invites clarity and focus
- It creates a culture where failure is not something to fear, but a recognized part of learning
- It will help you lead the church AND it will help you become a better parent, spouse, friend, and co-worker.
- …and much, much, more.

About Dare to Lead™
Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program. Sara Thomas studied with Brené and is a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator.
Brené is a research professor at the University of Houston where she holds the Huffington Foundation – Brené Brown Endowed Chair at The Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy, and most recently completed a seven-year study on courageous leadership. She is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers: The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness, and Dare to Lead, which also debuted at #1 on The Wall Street Journal and Publisher’s Weekly lists.
The most significant finding from Brené’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 developing these courage-building skills through workshops, trainings and coaching to help individuals, teams and organizations move from armored leadership to daring leadership.
