🔍 What It’s About
Dare to Change brings together honest conversations, powerful stories and meaningful connections to explore how real change happens—in individuals, teams and organisations.
Inspired by TEDx and hosted by Core Impact with TEDx curator Jason Lear, this event is designed to spark insight and help you put it into action.
🎤 What to Expect
The Red Dot Effect
Jason Lear takes us behind the scenes of TEDx Black Mountain: the courage, culture, challenges and breakthroughs that defined the journey—and what they teach us about leadership and change.
TEDx Voices on Change
Hear from former TEDx speakers about their experience standing on the stage, owning a message and how it shaped their thinking and actions afterward.
Core Impact — Leading Change in Organisations
This segment focuses on the behaviours and leadership that embed change in business, culture and teams. Expect an interactive activity designed to spark impactful dialogue and insight.
Panel & Q&A
Join Jason, TEDx speakers and Core Impact facilitators in a lively discussion. Explore how lessons from TEDx translate into everyday leadership—and bring your questions into the conversation.
