How to run it

  1. Facilitator introduces the theme:“This session is about how trust and courage shape great teams. It’s based on the work of Brené Brown, who defines vulnerability not as weakness-but as the heart of brave leadership.”
  2. “When you hear the word vulnerability, what comes to mind?”
  3. Write key phrases on a flipchart.
  4. Share this quote:“You can’t get to courage without walking through vulnerability.”Let the group sit with that. Then briefly outline the flow of the session.
  5. This practical, research-based workshop helps teams understand and apply the core behaviours that build trust, strengthen relationships, and support honest, values-driven communication.
  6. This workshop helps your team build the trust, self-awareness, and communication skills needed to work with more clarity, courage, and connection.
