Dare to Lead™ (Online) - May 2025

WorkUP QLD have partnered with The Leadership Sphere to bring the Dare to Lead™ program to the DFV, sexual assault and women's health and wellbeing sector in QLD (WorkUP target group) for a heavily discounted price of $275 + GST (RRP $2475 + GST).   Target Group services are specialist services funded by DJAG, Office of Women only.

Before registering, please read all the information including about eligibility, dates and times. Dare to Lead is delivered online from Melbourne so the times below are Melbourne times.

Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage building program designed to be facilitated by organizational development professionals. 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. 

Individuals who successfully complete course requirements will receive a certificate of completion and are allowed to put the Dare to Lead Trained badge on their LinkedIn account.

• Understand that it’s armour – not fear – that is the greatest obstacle to daring leadership.
