As a leader, you’re barraged with problems every day, and sometimes it’s easier to take the path of least resistance. You don’t speak up because it might rock the boat. You procrastinate on a decision or don’t try that new idea because you’re afraid of failure. Or, you don’t invite feedback because you might not like what you hear. In these moments, you’re missing opportunities, you’re wasting money, and you’re eroding your team members’ trust.

Building your reputation as a courageous leader doesn’t necessarily mean making big, bold, game-changing moves. It happens every day, little by little, as you own your team members’ strengths, speak up, stand out, and dare to take appropriate risks. This program gives you practical methods to become a bit more daring every day for greater influence and impact—to become the courageous leader you would want to work for.

Learning Objectives:

• Practical approaches to show up as a more authentic, courageous leader
• Tools for gathering and responding to feedback
• Techniques to prepare for and hold courageous conversations up, down, and sideways
