Creating a Culture of Courage: The New Leadership Challenge

Thursday, Nov. 17 at 3 p.m.

The pandemic threw many challenges and disruptions at us, leading us to find new and innovative ways to engage, communicate and negotiate constantly changing priorities. Adapting to these new challenges takes work and courageous leadership.

Cindy Solomon, Founder and CEO of the Courageous Leadership Institute, believes that everyone, especially school board members, can be courageous leaders. Solomon will share the four types of courage needed to serve all students. Once you’ve identified what type of courage you need as an individual, you can build toward the type of courage your school board needs to minimize the noise, keep your eyes on the horizon, and govern effectively.

Solomon has helped more than 350,000 individuals leverage their own leadership potential through her institute and is ready to help you and your board become courageous leaders with information, research, and group exercises to use following the presentation. Her empowering and hilarious insights will give you the courage to compromise and turn your board into a nimble, energized and focused team ready to face the challenges ahead.
