Regardless of how you feel about some of the world’s biggest question marks right now– global pandemics, artificial intelligence, climate change, social upheaval – good solutions rarely come from fear. Instead of bracing for a future predetermined by our current problems, what if we step up and build a new pathway forward? At the heart of every crisis is an opportunity for great transformation. But first we need to own our part of the story and the role we can play. If we want to change the future, we need to be brave enough to reimagine new outcomes and intelligently redesign the status quo.

The Courage Architects is a topic that explores how we can ignite our individual and collective power to create a new vision for the future and build the courage we need to get us there. The future is not a foregone conclusion. It’s a dynamic, fluid process that will be shaped by the accumulation of our choices today and our ability to lean into uncomfortable conversations about who we are, who we want to be and how we choose to bridge that divide. This topic provides a practical framework around courage and accountability in leadership with a focus on managing rapid change.

Participants will walk away from this presentation understanding the context of our current, and often tumultuous environment and the key role they can play in amplifying a new vision for the future. Participants will gain new tools to ignite accountability and courage within themselves and their teams. They will gain insight around the changing role of leadership through times of great uncertainty and be better prepared to lean into the uncomfortable conversations and choices that will be required for us all to move forward.
