Leadership isn’t just about a job title—it’s about how you show up, take responsibility and lean into challenges. In this transformative session, Dr. Jill Nelson, a Dare to Lead certified facilitator, will guide you on a journey to redefine what it means to lead with courage. 

Explore what daring leadership truly is and, just as importantly, what it isn’t. Dr. Nelson will guide you through the principles of daring leadership, drawing from Brené Brown's acclaimed research. You’ll uncover the Four Skillsets of Courage Building, practical tools designed to help you navigate discomfort, inspire trust and align with your values. Reflect on what may be holding you back from becoming the leader you aspire to be and gain clarity on how to embrace vulnerability as a strength. 

Whether you're leading a team, managing a project or simply striving to show up authentically in your personal or professional life, this session will leave you with new insights and actionable strategies. You’ll walk away with the confidence and skills to lead boldly, build trust and foster meaningful connections. 

If you're ready to trade comfort for courage and take your leadership to the next level, this is the Women Connect you won’t want to miss!
