Welcome to
Dare Learning
Hi, I'm Alisdair.
I'm a leadership coach, trainer and founder of Dare Learning.
I help organisations develop better leaders — from the next generation entering the workplace to experienced leaders looking to have a greater impact.
My approach is simple. I take proven leadership, coaching and people-development ideas and strip away the complexity, making them practical, relevant and easy to apply in the real world.
I'm also the creator of nxtgenldr, a growing movement designed to help young people find their voice, build their confidence and lead before they're ready.
Whether you're developing future talent, managers or senior leaders, my goal is the same: helping people grow, perform and make a positive difference to those around them.
"At the heart of all boldness regret is the thwarted possibility of growth. The failure to become the person - happier, braver, more evolved - one could have been. The failure to accomplish a few important goals within the limited span of a single life".
Daniel H. Pink.
The Power of Regret (2022)
DARE TO TAKE THAT RISK
Learning is about being daring - doing to try new things; daring to change the ways we do things; daring to adapt or behaviour. Children are risk takers. They take a risk when learning to walk, learn from failure, and dare to go again. They dare to learn to ride bikes, learn from failure, and dare to go again. Adults play it safe more and are less daring. It's never too late to be daring.
"If you don't dare to design your own plan, chances are you'll fall into someone
else's plan.
And guess what they have planned for you? Not much."
Jim Rohn

"To be daring is to be bold, adventurous and risk taking...
Daring people are the discoverers and the brave, they face their fears, take chances and grasp opportunities
Being daring is exciting, scary and exhilarating
Dare to try new things, to take a risk, to make a mistake
Dare to learn
Dare to grow
Dare to do
Be bold - be daring! "
