Following the outstanding success of the training held in May this year, the WA Centre for Rural Health (WACRH) of the University of Western Australia is pleased to again bring leadership training to the Midwest, based on the research and best-selling book Dare to Lead by Dr Brené Brown.
This workshop is being delivered in Geraldton on 20 and 21 July by WACRH Lecturer Julie Loveny, a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator with a background in social work and a special interest in leadership and thriving workplaces.
Julie has been trained by Brené Brown and is amongst only a few facilitators in Australia certified to deliver the globally recognised Dare to Lead™ program. Having trained many staff in government, community organisations and business, Julie has seen how Dare to Lead™ can transform people and workplaces.
“We can all benefit from learning these leadership skills whatever our role or position and Dare to Lead™ equips people with the knowledge and skills to lead themselves and others as well as contribute to a positive organisational culture,” says Julie.
Recognising the importance of a mentally healthy workplace, Julie considers Dare to Lead™ helps to build psychological safety.
UWA Academic Services Team Leader Sheona Kaschula says “My team were lucky enough to be able to attend a Dare to Lead™ workshop. Members of my team who are usually very reserved stepped into the arena and embraced the philosophy of Dare to Lead. After the workshop members of my team have followed through, opening up with difficult conversations and are mindful that they maybe ‘telling themselves a story’ and put strategies in place when they recognised it.
“As a facilitator Julie did a fantastic job and bought the best out of the team. I highly recommend this workshop to others.”
There are so many benefits from a good place to work and as Brené Brown says, “If we want people to fully show up, to bring their whole selves including their unarmoured, whole hearts—so that we can innovate, solve problems, and serve people—we have to be vigilant about creating a culture in which people feel safe, seen, heard, and respected.”
There are a few places left and registrations can be made by contacting the WA Centre for Rural Health on 9956 0200.
