For qualified coaches ready to stop playing small and start showing up fully - for themselves and their clients.
A two-part transformational journey that helps you build the inner foundation to coach with clarity, confidence, and courage.
"By far the best CPD I have experienced in years. I have learnt so much about myself this programme, which has been enlightening and life-changing.
You became a coach to make a difference.
You’ve trained. You’ve got the tools. You care deeply about your clients.
But something’s calling you towards more depth, more humanity, and more courage - in your coaching, and in how you build your business.
There’s a quiet voice inside whispering: “There’s more.”
More depth, presence, courage...MORE YOU! You're ready to stop holding back and do the work to take your business and coaching to the next level.
This programme is for the coach who’s standing on that edge, ready to become who they’re truly here to be.
This isn't about adding more tools to your toolkit.
It’s about becoming the kind of coach your clients feel safe enough to go deep with, because you’ve done the work, too.
The Courageous Coach Programme is for you if:
✔ You want to move from learning more to becoming more
✔ You’re ready to stop playing small in your work
✔ You want to build grounded confidence — not surface-level bravado
✔ You want to show up more fully for your clients, and for yourself
You don’t want more knowledge, you want integration, embodiment, and support to become the coach you’re meant to be.
What we’ll explore
Together, we’ll explore the foundations of courageous coaching, including:
✔ Why vulnerability and courage always go hand in hand
✔ What’s really stopping you from being brave in your work
✔ The power of self-compassion as a foundation for risk-taking
✔ The stories that keep you small — and how to rewrite them
✔ The difference between bravado and grounded confidence
✔ How to model courage so your clients can feel it too
Courage is a practice, and it starts with you

What people say...
" It made me really stop in my tracks and be completely curious about things, from my reactions to "arena moments" and "how I am living into my values". I learnt to sit with my curiosity even when that made me so uncomfortable and vulnerable. There are so many things that I am going to take forward into my coaching and in my life that have totally resonated and have already started to change the way I rumble with situations."
" We learned all the cognitive stuff, but Melissa took us further so that we could experience it emotionally. What that meant for me was that the learning went deep and I can apply it in many areas of my practice going forward. I would highly recommend this to anyone who would like to really understand what holds them back and how you can feel and accept your vulnerability and still move forward with courage and confidence.”
After the programme, the support continues!

Feedback for the Annual Gathering:
This event exceeded my expectations and has allowed me to grow and learn both professionally as a coach and personally.
Beautifully facilitated and in a lovely space with great food, this felt both restorative and expansive. For anyone who is interested in or has been touched by Brene Brown's work, this is an incredible opportunity to delve deeper into the work and to take the time to work on your own courageous coaching.

DARE TO LEAD™ FACILITATOR UK
Welcome, Courageous Coach!
Hi, I'm Melissa Hague. I'm a Certified Facilitator for Brené Brown's Dare to Lead™. Training personally with Brené in 2019 was a transformational learning experience for me - as a coach, as a human being and as a leader.
I believe in the power of coaching, and the brilliance of coaches. I also believe that what makes a coach unique is their humanity and their ability to build connection - with themselves and their clients.
I help coaches develop courage-building skills, embrace their own messy humanness and embed the learning so that they can be the best coach they can be, and grow their business and their coaching practice.
The Courageous Coach is a personal development programme specifically for qualified coaches who find themselves stuck or holding back.
