The Courage Keeper™ program was very insightful. It challenged my thought process, specifically on the four keynotes for “caring for those we lead.”  This training helped me identify my leadership challenges and what action to take to overcome them.

The leadership principles I’ve learned and applied from The Courage Keeper™ have fundamentally transformed my approach to leading others. Dr. Yeager explained the science behind complex emotions that often influence our interactions and leadership decisions. He guided us through carefully crafted scenarios designed to evoke feelings of uncertainty and concern; he then provided practical coaching on how to process those emotions constructively, center ourselves on core truths about our identities and capabilities, and effectively guide others through similar challenges. Additionally, I appreciated the time dedicated to collaborating with other leaders in local businesses, schools, and organizations. These interactions provided invaluable insights and broadened my understanding of leadership in various contexts.

Integrating The Courage Keeper™ into our LEAD curriculum with Emerging Leaders and Captains has allowed them to understand their leadership style better and enhance their understanding of their teammates and coaches. In the last six months, we have found that our student-athlete leaders are more confident, accountable, and determined to be better leaders.
