Course Description

The biggest obstacle faced by today’s employees can be summed up in two words; unprecedented uncertainty. Failure to acknowledge this new reality is to live in denial, which risks personal success and the company’s success and survival. Thinking differently and being willing to challenge self-doubt during times of uncertainty requires courage.

We all know that uncertainty is an inevitable condition throughout life. Accepting the impossibility of knowing the future, of predicting an outcome, requires enormous courage. While we would like to get up each day to face this perpetual unknown with courage, all too often, we feel discouraged. Maybe that’s why the Roman philosopher Seneca wrote, “Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.”

Courage is the most vital virtue in today’s climate of uncertainty. By recognizing, developing, and wielding the power of personal courage, you can draw on courage-centeredness.

Learning Objectives:


  • Define what is the true meaning of courage

  • Identify the behaviors that infiltrate uncertainty

  • Identify the courageous actions to overcome uncertainty

  • Recognize how to keep “stepping up” to display courageous leadership

Global speaker Sandra Ford Walston is known as The Courage Expert and principal of a 25- year-old human potential consulting firm based in Denver, Colorado.

With over twenty-four years of original research in integrating courage behaviors, courageous leadership, women’s courage, and non-gender integral levels of courage consciousness, Sandra focuses on the human condition’s traps and tricks. She believes that integrating courageous actions at work leads to a more naturally propelled and self-fulfilled employee, resulting in reduced attrition, increased team effectiveness, and improved bottom-line performance. She has found that there is a direct correlation between the organization’s courage quotient and success quotient.

Featured on the speaker circuit as witty, provocative, concrete, and insightful, Ms. Walston has sparked positive change in the lives of thousands of leaders each year. Sandra also provides skills-based programs for some of the most respected public and private blue-chip businesses and organizations in the world, including Caterpillar, Inc., Procter & Gamble, Hitachi Consulting, Agrium (Calgary), IBM, Hensel Phelps, IBM, Wide Open West, US Bank, Nolte Engineers, Wyoming Public Nurses, DIA, Auburn University, Xanterra Parks & Resorts®, Institute of Management Accountants, Colorado Assessors, Internal Auditors, AGN (Vancouver), Healthcare Association of New York State, Women in Mining (Saskatoon), and Farmers Insurance. She has trained on various topics with over 5,000 individuals and customized skill-based training programs, including webinars.

With over twenty-four years of experience with finance professionals, including a former Vice President in private banking, she has also worked as an educator. She instructed for twenty-three years at the University of Denver in five CPE programs, such as “Real Leadership is Courageous: How to Discover Your Courage!” and “Uniting Women in Courage.” She continues to teach off-campus under Dr. Mark Vogel, President CPE4U. 

She is the internationally published author of the bestseller, COURAGE: The Heart and Spirit of Every Woman (Greece and Brazil), endorsed by Marianne Williamson, Jack Canfield, Harriet Rubin, and Neale Donald Walsch to name a few. Her second book and follow-up to COURAGE, The COURAGE Difference at Work: A Unique Success Guide for Women, is about courage consciousness actions at work. Her third non-gender book, FACE IT! 12 Courageous Actions that Bring Success at Work and Beyond, is not about getting a job but about learning to use courageous techniques to overcome work-related obstacles—limitations like uncertainty, intimidation, denial, apathy, and self-doubt. This book’s premise is that we can change our behaviors when given the necessary tools to grow and progress toward a courageous life. One attendee wrote, “Thanks for opening my eyes to the world of courage!”

Ms. Walston’s articles have been featured in Chief Learning Officer, Training & Development, Vertical Distinct (Malaysia), Real Simple, Zig Ziglar’s Newsletter, HR.com, and Strategic Finance
