CEO | Courage: The Strategic Edge for Leaders Who Want to Future-Proof Growth One Leap at a Time
1- Strategic Courage: Amplifying Your Competitive Edge at the Top
By framing courage as a multiplier of their existing strengths, this topic explores how C-suite leaders strategically leverage courage to anticipate trends, outpace disruption, and set bold agendas that others follow. The focus is on helping the C-suite crystallize their unique perspective to identify game-changing opportunities and act with visionary boldness.
2-Enabling Courageous Leadership at Every Level: The Ripple Effect from the C-suite
Instead of framing this as a shortcoming, position C-suite leaders as architects of courage. This session demonstrates how executives model, systematize, and scale courageous thinking and innovation throughout the organization, making courage a competitive asset embedded in the company culture, rather than just an individual trait.
3- Turning Decisive Moments into Defining Legacies: The Courage Playbook for Top Executives
This topic celebrates tough, high-stakes decisions that shape executive careers. It offers frameworks for transforming pivotal moments—such as M&A, crisis response, or bold pivots—into legacy-building moves. The message: C-suite leaders already embody courage; this keynote refines and elevates how they leverage it during critical moments.
“I’ve worked with numerous external speakers for large corporate conferences and meetings over the years. I highly recommend CB Bowman as an inspirational speaker. She offers a fresh and inspiring perspective on courage and how to apply it in your organization and life. CB is authentic in her mission to help others, both through her speaking engagements and workshops… She possesses wisdom and grace. Her refreshing approach takes a no-blame, no-shame stance, using simple solutions to tackle complex problems. CB brings fresh air to the world of speakers; not only is she articulate, but she also has a great sense of humor that relates to all levels in organizations.”
— Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, executive leadership coach, author, and professor of management practice at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business.
“CB Bowman’s work on courageous leadership is a must-read for executives and leaders seeking to inspire teams and drive growth.”
— Hubert Joly, former CEO, Best Buy
In today’s high-stakes business environment, leaders are constantly navigating moments that demand not just smart strategy but “strategic courage”. Whether at the C-suite or across all levels of the organization, the real differentiator isn’t just innovation. This kind of strategic courage empowers executives to turn pressure into performance, quagmires into pivots, and defining moments into lasting legacies. It is about creating a strategic edge to future-proof growth—one leap at a time.
