• The program will consist of 24 hours of facilitated instruction.  January 6, 13, 20, and 27 from 9am – 4pm (breaks are included).
• The program will be delivered remotely via the Zoom platform.Asynchronous  learning will be incorporated – you will have access to all program  videos of Brené Brown explaining the concepts and providing examples.   These videos will be available for viewing at your individual pace  throughout the program and will be shown during the program. Episodes of Brené’s Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead podcasts will be suggested to deepen the learning when appropriate to curriculum topics. Prework assessments, taking approximately 60 minutes in total to complete, will be assigned prior to the start of the cohort.
• Dare To Lead Book-  Reading the book is not a requirement of this program but it does help  with the processing of the research and content.  Please consider  reading the book and attending the program with questions or ideas you  would like to share and discuss with others.Investigate if your department will purchase the book for the collective team or reimburse individuals for the expense. You can order the book through the UVA Bookstore (be sure to state that you would like to “order” the book as they do not have them in stock). The book is also available in hardcover or paperback via retailers such as Amazon, Target, Barnes and Noble to name a few. You can also purchase the book in audio format.
• Dare To Lead Workbook (70 pages) – we will use this extensively throughout the program and you will likely refer to it post program.Workbooks will be available for in-person pick up prior to the start of a program (details forthcoming once you enroll) Those  who do not pick up a workbook will be expected to print the workbook on  their own (home or office printer) prior to program start Workbooks will not be mailed to homes or interoffice locations
• Your commitment to attending this program by all enrolled team members is paramountThis is a recurring time commitment.  Please take that into consideration before committing to a schedule. You  must attend and participate in all 24 hours of instruction to receive a  Dare To Lead trained badge for LinkedIn and receive credit in your  learning transcripts. When  participating in the program find a space that has limited  interruptions.  This program is unlike any other leadership development  program – you will think, do, and feel. Programs with less than 10 participants at the start will be cancelled.
