The answer? Understand what courage is by taking ownership of fear, venturing forward with confidence and resilience. Master courage through the pioneering PACE framework: Purpose, Action, Confidence and Excellence. Make courage a habit and improve decision making.

OUTCOMES AND BENEFITS

  • For Your Customers: Happier and receiving a higher level of service and a better relationship with you and your business.
  • For Your Business and Team: Greater collaboration, improved communication and calculated risk-taking delivering superior results.
  • For You: More confidence in your capabilities and leadership, making better decisions.

LEAD WITH PURPOSE, MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT

Teams are feeling more disengaged with lower levels of leadership trust. This is caused by poor communication and lack of connection, sense of belonging and clarity. Is this the experience you want for your customers and team?

The answer? A clear purpose rooted in core values builds trust and creates empowered high performers. They take considered risks, make transformative decisions and learn how to solve complex problems while taking on greater challenges. They strive for a bold vision and achieve sustainable customer-centric results.

Build genuine connections while energising the room with hundreds or thousands of courageous conversations.

Coach in Your Corner: Leverage the winning formula of champion athletes and teams who have a coach in their corner. Audience members pair up alternating between “Athlete” and “Coach” roles. Athletes share a personal or business challenge, the coach listens and provides useful feedback and tips. Athletes commit to concrete actions to overcome the challenge.
