Here’s how Brené describes the progression of her work:
The Gifts of Imperfection – Be you.
Daring Greatly – Be all in.
Rising Strong – Fall. Get up. Try again.
Braving the Wilderness – Belong. Stand Alone.
The Gifts of Imperfection™, The Daring Way™ and Rising Strong™ are highly experiential methodologies based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. The methods were developed to help men, women, and adolescents learn how to show up, be seen, and live braver lives. They can be facilitated in clinical, educational, and professional settings and are suitable for work with individuals, couples, families, work teams, and organizational leaders. Further information is available at www.thedaringway.com.

What Previous Group Members are Saying about These Groups:
"Kate led the group with such compassion and provided a nurturing space for me to explore and integrate the content. The program had a big impact for me in how I show up more courageously in my 'arena.' I recommend this group for anyone who is committed to living a wholehearted life. It’s a beautiful opportunity to show up, be seen, and support each other in our growth."
"This has been an exceptional experience, and one that I am so glad that I opted in for. Kate is a wonderful, experienced leader in doing this work and creates a safe space in which you can dig deep and grow." "This workshop motivated me to take a look at the ways in which I remain with a problem instead of working through it and “Rising Strong.” With Kate’s facilitation & the way she brings the group together, this experience becomes a place for you to let go and work toward a calmer and more genuine life. I highly recommend this group experience." "I recommend the Rising Strong™ group to anyone - you cannot afford not to and the skills learned are invaluable. Kate provides a safe and comfortable space which adds to the overall experience. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to participate and use Rising Strong daily in my life!" "Kate's Daring Way™ group has given me practical tools to understand where my issues came from and how to handle ongoing difficult situations. The skills from this group are grounded rather than theoretical, which has made it easier to apply what I have learned to my everyday life." "The Daring Way™ group was life changing. I have a renewed hope and energy as I look toward further personal growth." "Taking part in Kate's Rising Strong™ group was eye-opening, a bit earth shaking, exactly what I needed to begin my journey to living my most authentic life, without sacrificing myself or my values to please others, as I had been doing to varying degrees my entire life. What do I want? What is best for me? I've got this one life, I'm ready to start figuring that out." "This group helped me make breakthroughs and changes that I have been trying to get to for years. Brené Brown's work on shame & authenticity has helped me see things about myself I don't think I ever could have on my own, and Kate Gotelli is a compassionate and committed steward of the process, which has its rough patches. I highly recommend this group to anyone who feels they are stuck on a problem, or need a jolt out of a rut. It was good hard work, and it was actually really fun at the same time." "The work in this group has given me a context for understanding why I react the way I do in certain difficult situations, as well as tools and ideas to help me change my responses for the better." |
"I wholeheartedly recommend the Rising Strong group to anyone seeking personal growth, resilience, and a deeper understanding of themselves. This program offers a unique opportunity to explore the transformative teachings of Brene Brown in a supportive and inclusive environment, guided by an exceptional facilitator like Kate."
"I appreciated the weekly accountability group offered in working through the material. It challenged me to show up with my whole self, not only for the sake of the group, but for the sake of my own personal growth." "I recently had the privilege of participating in the transformative 8-week group experience called Rising Strong, based on the profound work of Brene Brown. Under the expert facilitation of Kate Gotelli, this group provided a supportive and empowering environment that allowed me to embark on a personal journey of growth, exploration, and vulnerability." "Throughout the program, I found myself immersed in the principles and teachings of Brene Brown, which were skillfully integrated into our sessions by Kate. Her facilitation style was exceptional, creating a safe space for authenticity, reflection & deep exploration. Kate's guidance allowed us to delve into our issues, examining them from multiple angles and embracing vulnerability to make significant progress in our personal growth journeys." "One of the greatest strengths of the Rising Strong group was the incredible group of women who participated. Each member brought their unique experiences, stories, and perspectives to the table, fostering an atmosphere of openness, understanding, and genuine support. The willingness to share our vulnerabilities and listen to one another's journeys created a powerful sense of community and connection that enriched the overall experience." "Using the principles taught during the program, I was able to approach an issue in my life with newfound courage and self-awareness. The group discussions and exercises challenged me to step out of my comfort zone, confront my fears, and embrace vulnerability as a catalyst for personal growth. The insights gained from the group discussions and the support received from both Kate and the fellow participants were instrumental in helping me navigate through my challenges & make meaningful progress." "I feel more calm and centered since attending the Daring Way™ group. It was really helpful to have time set aside each week for personal growth & reflection, and I enjoyed meeting other group members and connecting with them. Kate is a great facilitator too!" "This was an invaluable experience to me, worth every dime!" |
