Dare to Lead™

We’re delighted to announce that entrepreneur and ex-CEO turned leadership coach, Martin Beeche will join Zoë Coyle as a new facilitator for the 2025 Dare to Lead™ two-day program, based on Brené Brown’s courage-building framework. Together Zoë and Martin have delivered Dare to Lead™ to thousands of people around Australia. This program will help you live into your full potential as a leader, teach you how to create a high performance team culture and how to thrive in challenging situations.

New for 2025! This year’s program has all new curriculum focusing on navigating complexity in leadership, fostering psychological safety, and creating sustainable team cultures alongside mastering tough conversations, leading with values, building trust, and rising from setbacks.

Dare to Lead™ program

When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work.

The Dare to Lead™ in-person multi-day program focuses on developing these courage-building skills to help individuals, teams and organisations move from armored leadership to daring leadership. This challenging program is one of the most sought-after leadership and culture interventions globally to build sustainability into organisations that will survive into the next decades of rapid change.

What you’ll learn:

Leadership courage is a collection of four learnt skills. In this two-day workshop you will learn how to build brave cultures & drive performance by:

Navigating vulnerability
Leading with values
Building trust
Rising from setbacks

Participants explore Dr. Brené Brown’s research, complete a leadership assessment and learn how to connect, navigate difficult conversations and hold others accountable for success.

Join our next Dare to Lead™ program on 6-7 November 2025 in Hobart.
