CULTURE OF COURAGE: EMBOLDEN OTHERS TO THINK BIGGER & ACT BOLDER
Harness the power of conversations to grow, learn and thrive
The hardest conversations are often the most critical yet too often the issues that most need to be addressed aren’t. Research shows that over 80% of workers are avoiding at least one uncomfortable conversation at work — a conversation they know they need to hold but are dreading.
