About

Courageous Leadership empowers individuals, leaders and teams to consistently take wise and ethically courageous action under pressure. 

Courageous Leadership works with leaders and cross-cultural and interdisciplinary teams to deepen candor, trust and engagement. Our programs help individuals, leaders and teams increase courageous communication and connection, while improving critical and creative thinking in complex, ambiguous and changing environments. Leaders and teams develop the skills to solve complex challenges under pressure and address the systemic and structural factors needed to sustain change. 

Our learning-based model helps leaders and teams face “untouchable” challenges, like systemic racism, inequity, and unhealthy power and relational dynamics, with courage, curiosity and humility. Our clients report an increased sense of belonging, connection, motivation and efficacy within their teams. This enables teams to engage the collective brilliance of all voices to ensure equitable systems, inspiring innovations and meaningful stakeholder outcomes.
