What would you do if you were even braver? Put yourself out there in a bigger way? Speak up more powerfully? Learn to say no? In talking with hundreds of leaders and staff through our work at The Brave Initiative, it turns out whether you’re an entrepreneur, an Executive Director, or a frontline employee their first day on the job, everyone always has an answer. Because the truth is, we all want to be braver. And the good news is, brave can be taught. /BRĀV/: Your willingness to get into action before you feel ready...  because you are choosing to feel ready enough. Now, more than ever, it's time to learn how to step into your brave. In this empowering & educational event, we’ll explore the big Bravery Barriers that may be holding you back, you'll gain tools to get you out of your comfort zone and into your B.R.A.V.E. Zone, and you’ll discover strategies to help increase your visibility, get into action, and achieve what you never thought possible.

No one likes talking about mental health. It’s stigmatized, it’s scary, and it’s anything but comfortable! It’s also very much misunderstood. And, whether you like it or not, its impact on our work and life is here to stay. It’s time to talk about it, and to talk about it more effectively. It’s also time to recognize the signs, learn the proper tools, and create safe spaces to make it okay to not be okay. As we navigate life post Covid, addressing mental health in the workplace is more important that ever. Studies show 80% of workers experience some type of mental health challenge - from stress to anxiety to a more serious diagnosis. And the cost to employers is an estimated thirty billion dollars. Brave conversations surrounding mental health are no longer a nice to have, they are a need to have. The more we talk about it, the more we can create safe, supportive workplaces for everyone to thrive.
