At PK, We Dare to Lead™

Leadership is vital in all roles, regardless of the job title.

After our leadership was Dare to Lead™ trained earlier this year, we extended the opportunity to others at Public Knowledge®. As a firm embodying a servant leader structure, learning to lead through vulnerability aligns with our values. It is developed by Brené Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston, who has spent 20 years studying vulnerability, courage, shame, and empathy.

Courage is a Skill

Everyone has the ability to become a courageous leader. Contrary to popular belief, courage is not something you either have or you don’t. They are teachable skills everyone can master. During the Dare to Lead™ training, it centers around four skill sets:

  • Rumbling with Vulnerability
  • Living Into Our Values
  • Braving Trust
  • Learning to Rise

Gaining Awareness, Skills, and Tools

Dare to Lead™ Training is designed to give participants with actionable skills to operationalize vulnerability and courage within our everyday interactions and conversations. Identifying what our values are, how we respond to difficult situations, and learning to be emotionally resilient, is the beginning of becoming more courageous in everyday life.

Congratulations to Our Newest Dare to Lead™ Trained PKers!
