"To live in a world where solopreneurs and small businesses benefit from the most contemporary and powerful learning and development offerings available"

Brand Proposition

Dare to imagine : Dare to try

Dare to take risks : Dare to go for it

Dare to succeed : Dare to win

The Dare Learning philosophy is to be daring. Daring to be more, daring to try new things, daring to take risks and daring to learn. Daring to have an open mind, daring to understand ourselves and daring to believe that we can be better. Daring to look into our own selves and daring to challenge our own values and beliefs.

Learning is about being daring...daring to dream, daring to imagine and daring to try.

Dare Learning dares you to change, to grow, to challenge yourself and to develop.

Slogan

Developing People : Developing Business

Dare Learning is a people and business focused organisation. I believe that organisations successes and failures depend on it's people - on their skills, confidence, motivation and engagement.

Dare Learning aims to develop business results through developing the people - building on their skills, supporting their confidence and being more effective, and through this increasing their workplace motivation and engagement with the organisation.

Values

Value No 1: Transparency

To make my toolkit available for download, free of charge and with no obligation to leave contact details. To publish details on my courses and prices on my website so everyone is aware of what I am offering, when and where it is offered and how much it costs.

Value No 2: Informal

People learn best when they are relaxed and this increases the depth of the application of their learning. That is why all my public events are casual attire and informal in nature.

Value No 3: Contemporary

Too many learning offerings can be stuffy and traditional, teaching the way things have always been done. We will focus on delivering contemporary offerings which evolve the traditional offerings and ensure they are fit for purpose in the modern world.

Value No 4: Professional

All of my offerings have been tried, tested and are proven to deliver organisation results that make a difference. All of my offerings are focused on driving behavioural change and implementation. I will support all my clients with measuring: learning; behavioural change and organisational results.

The DARE Learning Mission

The purpose in creating Dare Learning was to take the contemporary offerings I have been delivering in the corporate world and make them available to solopreneurs and smaller/local orgasnisations at a cost which makes sense for them and deliver it in the local area.

As such Dare Learning brings the most contemporary and most powerful learning and development offerings available to corporates and offers them to everyone.

The UK has a huge skills shortage in terms of leadership, people skills and sales abilities and behaviours.

Smaller organisations have been let down by the system and I passionately believe in supporting them, working with them and developing them with the most cutting edge and meaningful people business solutions.

My Dream

My dream is to live in a country of people with great skills, in all organisations of all sizes - from solopreneurs; to small and local businesses; to larger organisations.

I believe everyone should have access to the best, most powerful and most contemporary learning and development offerings and everyone should be able to master their people and behavioural skills

I am passionate about bringing the very best sales offerings; leadership development; emotional intelligence; mental health; people skills and behavioural profiling offerings to everyone.
