I work with leaders like you through workshops, coaching and keynotes to teach practical tools that build a Courage-Ready Culture™ and high-performing team.

Does this sound familiar?
You’re feeling the pressure to produce efficient results, show value that can’t be duplicated by artificial intelligence and build skills among team members that help position your organization for future success.
But, you’re not getting what you need from your team.
You’re constantly wondering how to get them to speak up with their perspective and raise their hand to take the lead.
In reality, they’re afraid of risking their careers and dealing with retaliation. You know your success as a leader depends on whether you can enhance your team’s ability to perform to their potential. You can. You just need help giving them the right support to act with courage.
Hi, I’m Candace.
My specialty is building teams of people who own their brilliance, take risks, and work at their full potential.
But, early in my career, I played it small.
I spent more time hiding and censoring myself than contributing my best. Finally, I knew something had to change if I wanted to grow. I booked a ticket to travel solo through the parts of the world I knew least about (basically, what scared me the most.) Along the way, I found a courage within me I didn’t know was there. And when I returned, it was game on.
The more I tapped into my courage, the more my team members tapped into theirs. Year after year, we were among the highest-performing teams throughout Chipotle’s global brand. The same results followed as I began speaking and coaching.
Today, I combine research and experience to partner with global brands in building a Courage-Ready Culture™ — a culture where employees contribute and perform at their highest potential.
