A Message from Marie Quigley, Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator

This powerful work supported me to accept and appreciate all the various parts of me, the good and the bad, that come together to make me the whole person I am today. Though my personal explorations I empowered myself to dare greatly in my love, work and play.  Most importantly it transformed my relationship with myself.  I'm excited to share this work with you.

If there is an opportunity to take The Daring Way ™ workshop with Marie then I highly recommend grasping it with two hands. Marie’s delivery of Brené Brown’s work on tough topic's around shame, vulnerability, perfectionism and empathy was stretching, full of learning, fun and powerful. This was achieved with a perfect blend of Marie’s insight, knowledge and support, Brené’s research and video’s to reinforce this and compelling, creative exercises. I realise now that it’s taken my personal growth to new levels of understanding and why I choose to live in alignment with my values. It cemented so many cracks in my deeper level of understanding about myself. When I step up, show up, and have the courage to be vulnerable I feel alive.

Doing this workshop is like stepping out of the woods and into the sunshine. At first it is blinding but as I adjusted and walked with Marie down the path of vulnerability into the arena of life, I understood finally what it is like to truly feel like I am living, feeling and being. This course opens up a whole gamut of awareness and emotions that will enhance and colour your life, hopefully forever. I am grateful and I am empowered.

What an amazing, and cleverly put together workshop! All learned on the first day came nicely together on the second day, and much more than that! It opened up a whole new world to me and the way I now look at the emotion of shame and how this is linked with my values. Thank you so much Marie, for finally being able to put my finger on things which I were not able to do so before your workshop. You’re an amazing woman, walking alongside me on my journey of self-discovery!

Thank you Marie Quigley for sharing your learnings on The Daring Way ™. I went into this workshop with the intention of learning how to support my clients further but came out of it with so much awareness about myself and what it really means to be Courageous and Vulnerable. Marie tackles heavy topics such as Shame and Guilt effortlessly, brings in relevant exercises to truly anchor the learnings and ensures that everyone participates and is heard. The workshop is structured in a way that you learn as much from the participants than you do from the programme itself and there is such power being in being in a room with other like minded people who have a made a commitment to live their best life. Marie this has been enlightening and I am ready for my arena. I eagerly await part two!

Thank you Marie and to the wonderful ladies in the Daring Way ™ workshop. The vulnerable stories and powerful exercises helped me to understand how being human, means to embrace the joy and those moments that may be shameful, painful or scary. To treat myself with kindness and empathy as I step into my courage, to be my true imperfect self and create the life I want. The awareness is just starting to unfold and I feel like there is so much space that was never there before! Marie , I am so grateful to you for facilitating this workshop, sharing what you have learnt and lived to support me to know that I am enough! I feel on purpose!
