DARE TO LEAD™ FACILITATOR UK
Welcome, Courageous Coach!
Hi, I'm Melissa Hague.
I'm a Certified Facilitator for Brené Brown's Dare to Lead™. Training personally with Brené in 2019 was a transformational learning experience for me - as a coach, as a human being and as a leader.
I believe in the power of coaching, and the brilliance of coaches. I also believe that what makes a coach unique is their humanity and their ability to build connection - with themselves and their clients.
I help coaches develop courage-building skills, embrace their own messy humanness and embed the learning so that they can be the best coach they can be, and grow their business and their coaching practice.
The Courageous Coach is a personal development programme specifically for qualified coaches who find themselves stuck or holding back, incorporating the fundamentals of Dare to Lead™.

Do you sense you have more to offer your coaching clients..?
...but can't quite get to it?
You may hear the voice of imposter syndrome, feel something is ‘off,’ or long to have more impact in your coaching work...but for some reason, you're holding back?
If you feel like this, you ar not alone.
Coaching is one of the most courageous and vulnerable things we can do, because coaching isn’t just about the skills we use - it’s about who we are as human beings.
WHO WE ARE is how we coach.
If we want to create true transformation for our clients, we need to bring our humanness, who we are, to our work.
You can choose courage or you can choose comfort, but you can't have both

Signature Programme for Coaches
The Courageous Coach Programme
WHAT IS IT?
A 12-week facilitated programme in a group of courageous coaches. The group will be small to enable us to dig deep into the skillsets of courage and engage in a deeper dialogue around the application of Brené’s research to our work as coaches.
The programme includes facilitation, group discussions, self-reflection, practical activities and short videos hosted by Brené.
In between sessions, there will be additional materials and activities provided, along with support after the programme ends, to help you implement and embed your learning.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Coaches who are looking to develop courage-building skills in themselves and want to support their clients to do the same.
iNVESTMENT
£1200 per person. Payment plans are available upon request.
I also run group coaching, masterclasses and F2F gathering for coaches who have been through my programme.
'If you're a coach and interested in the work of Brené Brown, I highly recommend this programme. Melissa is highly knowledgeable and passionate and brings Brené's Dare to Lead work through a coaching lens. I loved the programme and learnt so much about myself as well as learning new tools for my coaching practice."
The programme will cover the four courage-building skillsets of:
01.
Rumbling with Vulnerability
The foundational skill of courage-building is the willingness and ability to step into the discomfort of being vulnerable. Without this core skill, the other three are impossible to put into practice. Our ability to be courageous coaches will never be greater than our capacity for vulnerability - leaning into risk, uncertainty, and emotional exposure.
02.
Living into our Values
Research participants who demonstrated the most willingness to be vulnerable and courageous anchored their behaviour to a couple of essential values, not 10 or 15.
Our core values give us courage and strength, especially when things are difficult.
03.
Braving Trust
It's a must-have in our important professional and personal relationships, but trust tends to be a vague concept. Understanding the seven evidence-based elements of BRAVING trust helps us to be specific and exchange feedback in meaningful ways that supports real change and enduring trust.
04.
Learning to Rise
When we choose to be brave in our lives and work, it is inevitable that there will be failures, setbacks and disappointments. It is essential that we can learn and grow from these experiences and develop the resilience to get back up.

The Annual Gathering of Courageous Coaches
17th - 19th March 2025
Abbots Court House - Winterborne Kingston, Dorset
Join us for two days of courage-building work to support you to step into your courage as a coach and a human, by deepening your learning and reflections from the Dare to Lead for Coaches Programme.
This event exceeded my expectations and has allowed me to grow and learn both professionally as a coach and personally.
Beautifully facilitated and in a lovely space with great food, this felt both restorative and expansive. For anyone who is interested in or has been touched by Brene Brown's work, this is an incredible opportunity to delve deeper into the work and to take the time to work on your own courageous coaching.
