What is The Daring Way?
For those who are unaware of what exactly is ‘The Daring Way’ is, it is a certification process created on the decidedly experiential psychological methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. It is intended for work with individuals, couples, families, work teams and organizational leaders. The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and developing daily practices that transform the way we live, love, parent and lead.
During the certification process, potential facilitators explore topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame and worthiness. The participants examine thoughts, emotions and behaviors that may be holding them back, and identify new choices and practices that will move them towards more authentic and enthusiastic lifestyle and way of being.
How is it used?
Based on research and experience facilitating this work, The Daring Way has formidable and influential applications among wide-ranging client populations, spanning a vast range of practice settings.
Aside from therapists and coaches expediting the work with individuals, couples, and groups, social workers and clergy are assimilating this work into their practices; organizational development professionals using it as the foundation for cultural change and individual work with leaders; and addiction professionals using it to support recovery work.
This is only a partial list of applications; it is listed to illustrate the broad range of work being done by Certified Daring Way™ Facilitators.
