Courage To Leap & Lead
CB Bowman
“Courage to Leap & Lead” As an executive, having the courage to make difficult decisions and take calculated risks can be crucial to the success of your company. Here we explore how other leaders have faced untold challenges, and failures only to rise like the Pheonix.
This knowledge is invaluable on the leadership journey. A courageous leader is not afraid to challenge the status quo, speak their truth, and take action in the face of uncertainty. This is where honest business discussions about personal experience, books, and business news impact change (https://www.courage-consulting.com)

Challenges of the C-Suite with Martin Lindstrom, Episode 25
About Martin:
As one of the world’s leading consultants, Martin Lindstrom is ostensibly hired by organizations to create or fix brands. He might be asked to develop a new logo; redesign a website; brand a perfume, a beer, a wristwatch, or a retail environment. But in almost every case it soon becomes obvious that the real problem—the one responsible for lousy morale, lower-than-average productivity, frustrated customers, and an ongoing dearth of innovation is a lack of common sense. Martin finds himself serving as a change agent, bringing to light and resolving corporate blindness and miscommunication to help companies run smoother and become more profitable.
In Martin’s new book, “The Ministry of Common Sense,” he shows how companies can pinpoint their bureaucratic bottlenecks and invisible red tape to unlock innovation, create an amazing culture, and importantly—save money! Visit Martin’s website to learn more https://martinlindstrom.com/commonsense
TIME Magazine named Martin one of the world’s 100 most influential people, and for the last six years, Thinkers50 has listed him among the world’s top business thinkers. He is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author of seven books translated into more than 50 languages and published in more than 70 countries.
