Rotary Club International and Courageous Leadership for a Courageous Democracy

Courageous Leadership, LLC created the Courageous Democracy Initiative to provide evidence-based tools to reach across widening political divides and create a more caring, sustainable democracy. Once funded, our program is scheduled to pilot with Rotary Club International in 2017.

Courageous Leadership programs are built on social science. Over eight years of working with colleagues and advisors, (including Phil Zimbardo, Lynne Henderson, Paul Gilbert, Kim Cameron), we created an interactive program to help leaders and teams in organizations. Our programs help people recognize invisible systemic influences and subtle social cues, manage internal reactions under stress, and override unhelpful human reactions (e.g., otherizing, avoiding, and lashing out). We train people to more-consistently act with compassion, ethical courage and ingenuity. Courageous Leadership’s programs and evidence-based tools have been used with clients like Google, MIT Sloan, Kaiser Permanente, the Hewlett Foundation, Columbia Medical Center, the Australian Healthcare, Justice, and Treasury Directorates, Post Carbon Institute, American Leadership Forum, and others.
