Braver than Before FAQs.

The programme consists of six virtual modules, each designed to build courage and confidence in leadership. It includes a mix of live virtual sessions, recorded content, exercises, and action learning sets through peer discussions (Courage Circles) to support your learning.

The programme runs over approximately four months, with one module or Courage Circle delivered every few weeks. Each module includes a live session (2.5 hours), along with additional exercises and recorded content that you can work through at your own pace. We recommend setting aside around 1–2 hours per module to fully engage with the material following the live session.

The programme is delivered through a mix of:

• Live virtual sessions, for key discussions and interactive learning.
• Pre-recorded content and exercises on the learning platform.
• Courage Circles, smaller, confidential discussion groups.

Yes, all development module sessions are recorded and available on the learning platform for catch-up. However, Courage Circles are not recorded, due to their confidential nature.

We strongly recommend attending all live sessions for the best experience. However:

• If you miss a module session, you should watch the recording within one week to stay up to date.
• If you miss a Courage Circle, we can help connect you with others in a similar position to discuss key insights.
• If you expect to miss two or more modules or more than one Courage Circle, please get in touch at programmes@thebravestpath.com.

You can only swap to another cohort before your programme starts, and only if your Trust has booked spaces in another cohort within the same year. Once your programme has begun, transfers are not possible.

Yes. You’ll have many opportunities to engage with others during live sessions, Courage Circles, and via the learning platform, and to swap contact details to stay in touch for ongoing support after the programme ends.

You will have access to the recordings, handouts and exercises on the learning platform for three months after the final module of your programme. You will also be able to download all of your programme notes and handouts as a single workbook to keep.
