Courage at Work: Helping Leaders Own Their BrillianceCandace Doby, Courage Coach and Author Now, more than ever, organizations need leaders to act with courage. They need leaders who are willing and able to take worthwhile risks, navigate through uncertainty, and own their brilliance in order to position their businesses for growth in a constantly shifting world. But, when many professionals consider potential failure or rejection in the workplace as outcomes, they can find it difficult to choose courage — opting instead for safety and limited growth. In this presentation, speaker and coach Candace Doby helps audience members get courage ready. She takes them through a process to help them discover what’s stopping them from stepping outside of their comfort zone at work and understand how to begin dismantling those barriers so they can move themselves and their organizations forward. |
