The Daring Way™ is a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. It has been developed to help men and women learn how to show up, be seen, and live braver lives. The method was designed for work with individuals, work teams, and organisational leaders.
During the 2 day course, we explore topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame, and worthiness. We examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that are holding us back and we identify the new choices and practices that will move us toward more authentic and courageous workplaces. The primary focus is on developing resilience skills and developing daily practices that transform the way we work and lead. We have detailed the 2 day outline below. This course will take your leadership, and your own personal development, to a new level.

EMILIE,THE DARING WAY™ WORKSHOP ATTENDEE
"The Daring Way™ workshop is probably the most insightful and valuable 2 days of personal development you could possibly invest in. As a former board-level sales director and now as a specialist leadership coach & sales trainer building my own business, I wasn’t sure how much I could really learn. Yet since Roxanne’s workshop, I’ve already felt braver in my approach to my business; far less inhibited by the ‘what ifs’ and the comparisons. My mind has become calmer, my conversations more satisfying (and easier) and I’ve felt a significant shift in my confidence and happiness - both professionally and personally.”

"Brené Brown's methodology gives a creative and robust framework to work around and address powerful human emotion and issues around behaviour in relation to leadership. Rox created a completely safe space for us to support each other and feel supported, I was bowled over by her skill and sensitivity in this. She also led the agenda, being flexible and responsive to the energy and feelings in the group, but never losing focus or a sense of purpose. Rox is a powerful combination of real world leadership experience, well developed and technical coaching skills and a truly sensitivity and intuitive approach."
