Dare to Lead Book Discussion | Wednesdays at 4pm, starting May 26,2021
Leadership is not about titles or the corner office. It’s about the willingness to step up, put yourself out there, and lean into courage. The world is desperate for braver leaders. It’s time for all of us to step up.
LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT TITLES OR THE CORNER OFFICE. IT’S ABOUT THE WILLINGNESS TO STEP UP, PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE, AND LEAN INTO COURAGE. THE WORLD IS DESPERATE FOR BRAVER LEADERS. IT’S TIME FOR ALL OF US TO STEP UP.
As entrepreneurs and business owners, how do we lead well? How do we expand our ability to lead through the challenges and successes that our businesses face on a day-to-day basis? Dr. Brene Brown invites us into the Daring Leadership model with her book Dare to Lead.
THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD BOTH VIRTUALLY AND IN PERSON AT THE NIIC.
Brown writes, “One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversation, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.”
Who is ready to be brave with their leadership? Join us for a book discussion series on Dare to Lead beginning Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Northeast Indiana Innovation. We will unpack what it means to be a Daring Leader over a 4 week period.
Take the Daring Leadership Assessment and discover where you may have opportunities for growth. https://daretolead.brenebrown.com/assessment/
Who should join?
If you own a business and are leading others or preparing to lead others this book discussion is right for you. Whether you’ve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you’re new to Brené Brown’s work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.
Participants must purchase their own copy of Dare to Lead. Available online for around $15.
The Dare to Lead Book discussion will be facilitated by Sarah Lance, WBC EmPWR Program Manager.
