Why Brave Leaders Are Needed Now, and Why we’re hosting Dare to Lead™ Trained at The Hivery (Feb 6–8, 2026)

Lately, I’ve been noticing something in my coaching rooms.

Leaders aren’t struggling because they’re not competent or skilled enough. They’re struggling because they’re stretched thin, juggling pressure, and trying to stay steady in a world that keeps shifting under their feet.

And here’s the truth: Leadership isn’t getting easier. But it can get more human.

That’s why we’re bringing Dare to Lead™ to The Hivery in Mill Valley this February 6–8, 2026, three days of brave work, honest conversations, and research-backed skills designed to support today’s leaders in real time.

This isn’t about being fearless.

It’s about learning how to stay grounded, clear, and compassionate while navigating challenging moments, with your team, your clients, and yourself.

Why Dare to Lead™ Matters Right Now

Most of us weren’t taught how to lead with courage.

We were taught how to stay efficient, stay in control, and stay “buttoned up.”

But that old model cracks fast under:

Constant change
Fast-growing teams
Rising emotional load
High expectations with low bandwidth
And the weight of doing more with less

Dare to Lead™ steps in here.

It gives leaders the tools to handle discomfort rather than avoid it, set stronger boundaries, build trust the right way, and communicate with clarity rather than guesswork.

If you’ve followed Brené Brown’s work, you know her research is deep, practical, and incredibly human.

If you haven’t, think of it like this: it’s leadership training that actually helps you be more of yourself, not less.

‍

What We’ll Cover Together

Across our three days, we’ll explore four powerful skill sets:

1. Rumbling With Vulnerability

How to stay steady in tough conversations, navigate uncertainty, and speak honestly without spiraling.

2. Living Into Your Values

Naming what matters most and leading from that place instead of reactivity or overwhelm.

3. Trust Building (BRAVING)

A simple, clear framework that helps you repair and strengthen trust in your relationships and teams.

4. Rising Skills

Tools for getting back up after setbacks, criticism, conflict, or failure, without armor or shame taking over.

And because it’s at The Hivery, the space itself does half the work: light-filled, thoughtful, and built for real connection.

Why We’re Hosting This Training

‍

Our own inner work reminds us every day that healing and leadership are not opposites.

Vulnerability and strength can sit at the same table.

Boundaries protect our aliveness.

Replenishment fuels courage.

For me, this training is an extension of that ethos.

We want leaders to walk into 2026 with:

• More clarity
  
  
• More self-trust
  
  
• More emotional skill
  
  
• Less burnout
  
  
• And a deeper sense of what kind of leader they truly want to be
  
  

Dare to Lead™ gives us a shared language and a shared toolbox, so you can go back to your team and lead with more steadiness and heart.

‍

Who This Is For

‍

This training is great for:

• Executives and founders
  
  
• Managers who are leading humans for the first time
  
  
• Coaches and consultants
  
  
• Educators and nonprofit leaders
  
  
• Anyone who wants to lead with more courage and less depletion
  
  

You don’t need to “feel ready.”

You just need to be open to doing the work.
