Coaching Programme 2018: Your Bravest Year

We are thrilled to announce that DevelopHer, in partnership with The Bravest Path, are offering an exclusive 6-month coaching programme to challenge and support members of our community to be ‘your bravest self’ in 2018. Participants in the programme will experience the Daring Way TM development based on the ground-breaking research of Dr Brené Brown with 4 online development sessions and 4 one-to-one Skype coaching sessions. The program will culminate in sharing your stories of courage to the DevelopHer community of where you have shown up, be seen and lived bravely in 2018.

We will select 12 people to take part in the programme. These participants will come away with a greater understanding of themselves and will start living brave and taking action towards a more fulfilled, joyful and connected life. They will learn to understand the barriers that hold them back from being brave, such as fear of what people think, perfectionism or fear of failure, and be given tools to practice overcoming these.

Update: The application deadline was Thursday, 1st March 2018 and we are now no longer taking applications. We are currently reviewing applications and get back to candidates by March 10th.

To give a taste of the workshops, we held a coaching day on Saturday, February 24th in Covent Garden, London – made possible by our venue sponsor Qubit. Read about the workshop here.
