For All Seasons’ Center for Learning is offering community leaders the opportunity to develop bold, authentic leadership through Dare to Lead™, the renowned courage-building program based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. This January, For All Seasons welcomed local professionals to participate in the four-day training, designed to help individuals embrace vulnerability, cultivate meaningful connections, and develop a leadership approach rooted in integrity.

The program was facilitated by Beth Anne Dorman, President & CEO of For All Seasons, and Lesa Mulcahy, LCSW-C, Chief Clinical Officer, both Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitators and two of fewer than 300 professionals nationwide authorized to teach Brown’s leadership curriculum. Participants explored the foundational principles of courage-driven leadership, learning how to build trust within teams, align their actions with their values, and navigate challenges with confidence.

For All Seasons will offer two additional Dare to Lead™ training sessions in the coming months, scheduled for March 25 – 28, 2025, and May 13 – 16, 2025, at Anchor Church in Easton. The program is open to professionals from all industries who want to enhance their leadership skills in both professional and personal settings. Each session runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. over four consecutive days, with breakfast, lunch, and training materials provided.

The training curriculum covers four core leadership skill sets: Rumbling with Vulnerability, which challenges common misconceptions about vulnerability and its role in effective leadership; Living into Our Values, which focuses on aligning personal and professional behaviors with one’s core beliefs; BRAVING Trust, which teaches leaders how to build and maintain trust within their teams; and Learning to Rise, which explores resilience, growth, and how to navigate failure with courage.

Participants who complete the training will receive a certificate of completion and the right to display an “I am Dare to Lead™ Trained” badge on LinkedIn. Additionally, clinicians attending the program will be eligible to receive 24 Category I CEUs, issued by For All Seasons, an approved continuing education provider for Maryland social workers and professional counselors.

The total cost for the training is $650, with a non-refundable deposit of $100 required at registration. Limited scholarships are available and payment plans are offered to make the program more accessible.
