The BRAVE Index

Welcome + Instructions

We're excited to embark on this journey with you as we explore and expand our capacity to be BRAVE with ourselves and others. Over the course of this program, we will learn how to harness the art and science of conversation to empower ourselves and the people we lead, create unshakable relationships, build resilient, high performing cultures and unlock the potential for making better decisions, driving excellence, and cultivating the confidence to lead through uncertainty and change. In short, we will learn how to use the power of conversation to build teams that win.

When we need to move fast, it can be stressful. And often, even tiny, unintentional missteps can break trust. We know that lack of trust kills two things: performance and relationships. When we want to show up and lead as our best selves, to excel and achieve, or when we're navigating a challenge, change or the chaos of fast growth, research says that a foundation of trust, community and something called psychological safety are more imperative than ever. Our resilience, wellbeing and results rely on it.

So, we need a structure for building the culture we desire (and need!) to achieve our mission and take great care of our people along the way. We need a reliable framework that turns our good intentions into tangible, positive impact. The problem is, even seasoned leaders were never formally taught how to create this kind of environment, so we need a place to learn and practice. This is that place... 

Welcome! We're SO glad you're here!

Please answer these questions (~15 minutes) as honestly as possible. Your answers are completely confidential and are only used to tailor the ensuing conversations to your specific needs. Note: There are questions about both your professional life and personal life. We are not trying to pry. What we know of the way our brain perceives safety is that both areas of our life matter and that if we're going to improve one, integration and pattern recognition is important in both. We will never share your responses with anyone, these are between us only. We look forward to getting to know you and taking BRAVE steps forward together, over coffee!
