Baseball Field

This post is written by Billy Collins, Courageous Knowledge Lead.  Just the other week an important chapter in my life came to close as I coached my last little league baseball game. Between my two sons I’ve managed little league teams for 9 straight years and while I don’t think my “lifetime” winning percentage is […]

Trust or Bust

Ryan Berman speaking at Pan American Life Insurance Group.

Today I am on an airplane.  Not exactly breaking news. But what makes this flight different is that when the wheels touch down, I’ll officially be on PTO. Bring on the books, the beach, and the occasional umbrella drink.   Exactly a week ago?  Also on an airplane.  Also not shocking. That flight landed in Miami, where I had […]

Fear Disguised as Practicality

Fear Disguised as Practicality

This post is written by Nicole Miller, Courageous Action Lead.  Fear often wears a lot of masks.  Sometimes it looks like anger or perfectionism. Other times it could be anxiety or micro-managing.  Fear is tricky that way.  One of my favorites is “fear disguised as practicality.” I first heard this in a commencement speech given […]

Power of Storytelling in Keynotes

Now a dirty little secret about the keynote business.  I’ve had the good fortune of traveling North America for the last 5 years giving keynotes to all sorts of audiences. Whether it was Google, an NFL team, a Fortune 50 brand or somewhere in between, I’ve also witnessed other keynote speakers from all walks of […]

Have a Central Courage System?

Central Courage System

I am far from a Doctor.  Yet, a lot of my work revolves around helping folks get their teams, their mindsets and their brands healthy.  Something I haven’t talked about for a while? Your Central Nervous System. We all have one. They are excellent systems designed to keep us safe.  When was the last time you […]

How Courageous Leadership Drives Cultural Transformation

Culture Change

Courageous Leaders vs Cowardly Leaders I flashback to a moment in my former corporate life. We had just spent the last two months pitching a piece of business and had found out via a phone call that we had come in that notorious “2nd place”. This one stung as we knew we had shown well. […]

Traits of an Effective Keynote Speaker

  Discover the essential traits of keynote speakers who captivate audiences, from authenticity to preparation, brand clarity, engagement, and continual growth.   Authenticity: Great speakers embrace their unique voice and personality. Being genuine, rather than imitating others, connects with audiences on a deeper level. Thorough Preparation: Successful speakers do extensive research, including multiple discovery calls […]

The Ladder

The ladder

Climbing the Corporate Ladder? Good on you. Go get it.  One snippet of advice… Focus less on what’s above the ladder.  Learn to love the ladder itself. The ladder is comprised of your peers, your clients, and the team you lead. Treat them well and you’ll have a champion network who will root for you no […]

Yesvember

Yesvember.

Ready for a small challenge? Turn the rest of November into Yesvember.  Yesvember is something I have shared with this community in the past.  NO, I’m not asking you to transform your entire life by turning yourself into Jim Carrey where you can’t say “No” ever again. Consider saying “Yes” one place where you would normally say “No”. […]

Rulers

Lightbulb idea

You wake up. It’s still there.  That idea you haven’t tackled yet, and can’t shake.  Ever have an idea drop into your head and it just won’t go away? When one sticks around, I believe it’s there for a reason. I trust the universe. I have to get it OUT and see it through. This turns me […]
