Upcoming Dare To Lead™ Certified Programmes
Brave work. Tough conversations. Whole hearts.
In this training, based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown and her Dare To Lead™ program, we support entrepreneurs, business owners, leaders and organizations use vulnerability to their advantage.
Brené Brown defines vulnerability as “taking a risk when the outcome is uncertain and there’s potential for emotional exposure”. I will guide you to embrace your own vulnerabilities as the starting point for creativity, innovation, change, and developing deeper connections. In other words, I will teach you the skills you need to lead with your whole heart AND have the impact you desire.
Designed to build practical, measurable skills for your work, team and life, this programming covers the daring leadership and practical courage building skillset of Dare to Lead™, based on the empirical research of Brené Brown and her bestselling books.
In 2019, MaryPat Kavanagh, was taught by Brené in person and she is part of a global community of Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitators accredited to facilitate this curriculum.

Frequently Asked Questions
We will be sharing options after the reservation is confirmed.
The Shannon Airport is closest, about a 90 minute car ride or a 2 hour bus ride (we take the bus). However, the Dublin airport is much larger and provides more options. The Dublin Airport to Galway buses run every 30-60 minutes and are the best option for transportation.
People who attended Dare to Lead Programme
“The workshop completely changed the way I look at what it means, and takes, to be a “successful” business owner. I now have a completely new and usable set of tools that will make my life as a business owner much easier!”
“Through the Dare to Lead training with MaryPat I learned that when I armor up and avoid hard conversations, I diminish my ability to be a good leader within my organization. Since the training, I have found that the more clear, kind, and brave I can be as a leader, the more my teammates rise to the occasion to show up as positive, brave, and kind leaders as well. With this knowledge and practice, our team and business is flourishing!”
“I completed the Dare to Lead training with MaryPat Kavanagh together with my 4 employees. I found the training to be invaluable and it has really helped my communication with my team.”
About The Dare To Lead Program
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 the full 24-hour Dare to Lead™ program will receive a certificate of completion and are allowed to put the Dare to Lead Trained badge on their LinkedIn account.
