Embedding the value of courage in your organization’s culture is critical to unleashing the ingenuity and diverse potential in your enterprise. This keynote will embolden your leaders to show up with more authenticity, empathy and vulnerability, cultivating a ‘culture of courage’. Drawing on research and insights from Stop Playing Safe, equip your leaders to:
• Get ‘on purpose’, leading with the passion essential to rally teams behind a ‘Big Why’ and overcome the gravitational pull of the status quo
• Foster psychological safety across hybrid teams that fuels disruptive thinking and crucial conversations
• Activate ‘emotional contagion’ to normalize courage and build collective resilience and change-agility
• Adopt inclusive leadership practices that harness the full value of diversity
• Unlearn to relearn, identifying blind spots to counter rigidity and confirmation bias
• Reframe risk to counter short-sighted decision-making and ensure peripheral risk-taking that protects the core
