“I spent the day at Courageous Leaders listening to stimulating talks that reinforced for me the importance of having courage to make the choices that really matter, and that courage needs to be practiced. This moved me to ask myself: How do I practice courage? and how can we all encourage courage in others for better impact?”

“A transformative day at Courageous Leaders Event today. It is rare a conference connects on such an emotional level, but so much of what was discussed spoke to me today, from the need to build a strong inner circle who align with our values and allowing you to be your best self, to finding purpose, to how we show up as leaders digitally, silencing your inner critic and leading above the line, with values, but so much besides. An inspirational and empowering day in the run up to International Women’s Day.”

"This event is soul food. It lifts you up and puts you in touch with your emotions. But it speaks to the head as well as the heart. Crucially it gives you a practical toolkit to navigate the next leg of the journey - even for a cynical City Lawyer!"
