Free IATF Leadership TeleSeminar: Courageous Leadership - An introduction to the practice of courage-building with Bill Treasurer

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”
              – Anais Nin

Courage is the first virtue…because it makes all the other virtues possible.

If that’s true, than courage is the first business virtue too. 

Why? Because it makes so many other business concepts possible. Leadership, for example, takes bold action and decisive judgment. It takes courage. 

Innovation takes creating ground-breaking, but tradition-defying, ideas. It takes courage.

Sales takes knocking on the door in the face of rejection.  It takes courage.

In fact, courage is so important to these concepts that they don’t exist in the absence of courage.

Despite the importance of courage to business success, there have been no training programs dedicated solely on building workforce courage --- until now.

This session will focus on inspiring more courageous behavior in yourself and in those you work with. Specifically, in this session, you’ll learn:

1. Why fear and comfort are bad for business
2. The “Three Buckets of Courage” and how to differentiate among them
3. The differences between managers who encourage workers, and those who discourage them (Fillers and Spillers)
4. Tips on how to be more courageous yourself, and how to inspire more courageous behavior among your coworkers and employees

I thought the TeleSeminar was very insightful. I particularly found the piece about the 3 Buckets of Courage to be very helpful.

I am so grateful that you interviewed Bill Treasurer. Bill’s information about courage REALLY inspired me. I’m building my coaching practice based on a concept I call “Courageous Heart” and Bill’s approach to courage resonated deeply with me. I immediately purchase his book and I will be reaching out directly to Bill to thank him for his inspiration.

Having attended a few of your tele-calls over the years, I know you are a generous man, and I deeply appreciate the great value you offer in ALL that you do.

Thank you.
