(E19) The workplace courage expert Sharon Amesu

Leaders with impact

13-05-2024 • 48 mins

This episode is one about courage. The courage to show up as the leader you want to be. The courage to say the things that need to be said. Leaders in high performing teams, leaders with impact, have that courage - even if it is uncomfortable and messy and doesn’t always go to plan.

I’m delighted to speak with Sharon Amesu, an expert in building courage in the workplace. We talk about:

  • what workplace courage is
  • how a background in criminal justice led to a new career direction
  • everyday courage Vs heroic courage
  • not avoiding difficult conversations and articulating courage
  • how organisations can tackle bias and discrimination
  • leadership awareness and reflection
  • changing cultures
  • building inclusive and diverse boards, including the importance of the Chair
  • the inner work leaders need to do to embrace and make change happen
  • the need to change leadership development
