Courage Unlocks Exponential Gains

“Micro acts of courage — seemingly small-scale acts that have incremental impacts over time and long-term returns — are key to unlocking a courageous mindset.”

- Harvard Business Review

Companies want their employees to be more courageous. To not hold back. 

Companies and organizations that foster a more courageous environment see higher employee engagement, greater productivity, and off-the-charts success. 

Scott helps people to overcome the minor barrier of fear that impedes their success. This marginal shift – employees being just a bit more courageous – creates a positive impact and a more connected workplace with real benefits:
