Why these programmes work

Every programme here is built on one finding from four years of primary research: courage is the enabling condition that makes every other leadership capability work. It is what turns strategy into action, values into behaviour, and talent into performance.

The Four Steps organises this into four dimensions of courage — a compass for building courage capacity systematically, grounded in a deep base of research and practice.

7-Day Courage Sprint

The 7-Day Courage Sprint is a free, email-gated awareness programme.

Choose your level. Start building.

Each path is built on the same research-based methodology — the Four Steps to Courage.

Individual

I'm a leader

I want to understand and close my own courage gap — on my own terms, at my own pace.

Teams

I lead a team

I want my leadership team to build courage as a shared capability, not an individual burden.

Organisations

I'm in L&D / HR

I want to build courage into our leadership culture — measured, sustained, at scale.

Individual

Walk through the fire. Build the practice.

Start free. Go as deep as you're ready for. Every path begins with the same question: where is the gap between the leader you intend to be and the one others actually see?

GROUP • GUIDED • PRICE TBD

Courage Circles

Your journey. Shared ground.

A small group of 5–6 leaders, each working on their own courage gap. You take the assessment, then meet with a professional facilitator and your circle over 3–5 sessions. You share real cases from your own work. You listen to others share theirs. The facilitator draws on the full depth of the Four Steps — and the rich base of research behind it — to guide you through what surface methods cannot reach. This is not a course. It is a guided personal journey with people who are doing the same work.

Join a Courage Circle

What’s included

Full 48-Question Assessment (pre-work)
3–5 facilitated group sessions
Professional facilitator/coach
Peer dialogue, case sharing, and reflection
Personal development insights across all four steps

“Individual courage is necessary. It is not sufficient. If one person has to be brave every time, the system is broken.”

Take the Courage Assessment first. It maps your four-step pattern and points you to the right path — in under ten minutes.

Teams

Make courage a shared practice, not a solo act.

Most teams have courageous individuals. Very few have courage as a team capability. These programmes move courage from depending on heroic individuals to being built into how the team operates — because the measure of a leader is not how boldly they act alone, but how safe they make it for others to act boldly alongside them.

In person • Half-day

Team Courage Workshop

Map your team's courage pattern

A half-day facilitated workshop for intact leadership teams. Each member takes the 48-Question Courage Assessment before the session. During the workshop, the team maps its collective courage pattern — where courage is present, where it is structurally blocked, and what to do about it.

What’s included

48-Question Team Courage Assessment (pre-work)
Half-day facilitated workshop (in-person or virtual)
Team courage composite profile
Facilitated dialogue on team courage gaps
3 team commitments with accountability structure

Weekly team check-ins (virtual, 60 min)

Organisations

Build courage into the system, not just the individual.

89% of employees say psychological safety is essential. 26% of leaders create it (McKinsey/Gallup). That 63-point gap is the courage gap at scale. These programmes close it — measured, sustained, and tailored to your business.

Foundation • CHF 19/person + setup

Courage Culture Assessment

What’s included

48-Question Courage Assessment at scale

Diagnostic report with key findings
