DARE TO EMPOWER
Facilitating empowerment is crucial as it enables individuals to develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to take control of their lives and make positive changes. It helps individuals recognise their strengths, creating a supportive environment for growth and self-improvement. Empowered individuals are more likely to take on leadership roles, positively contributing to society. Empowerment is not just about giving power to others, but also about developing the right mindset and building an environment in which individuals can achieve their potential. Ultimately, empowering individuals is essential as it enables them to reach their full potential and have a positive impact on the world.
And that’s why Malcolm Larri, founder of Brave Personal Development and Leadership & Culture Consultant, was the first person who came to mind to contribute dares for this subject.

NOTE: Each chapter includes 4 Topics, 4 Dares, 2 Truth Question, a Double-Dare and a Triple-Dare. Here is a sneak-peek from Dare to Empower:
ENCOURAGE ACCOUNTABILITY
Assuming responsibility for our actions instills a sense of control and self-assurance, affirming our ability to make a difference. This empowering mindset propels us to set goals and to strive for them. Facilitators play a crucial role by encouraging participants to take action and be accountable, be it as individuals, teams, or groups. Harnessing the remarkable power of accountability transforms ideas into actions and actions into tangible results.
I DARE YOU:
Challenge participants to take full ownership of transforming ideas into action. Allocate ample time for discussing the "who, what, when, and how" of implementation, while highlighting individual accountability. Set a short deadline for the initial steps and have participants publicly commit to this in front of the group. This imbues a culture of action, showcasing the transformative power of personal responsibility.

Foster a supportive environment where individuals uplift and empower one another. Dare participants to leave the session with a renewed sense of confidence and motivation, ready to take bold action in approaching their goals.
