(E19) The workplace courage expert Sharon Amesu
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. Sharon is a former criminal barrister turned inclusion activist, keynote speaker, corporate trainer and facilitator. She works with leaders and organisations to be more courageous in times of challenge.
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.
