Courage is Built Here™ is hitting the road!

29 workbooks.
29 journals.
29 permission slips.
Certificates, countless pens, crayons, colored pencils, markers.
And sticky notes in all the colors.

All boxed up and ready for three days of deep courage work with the Advanced Leadership Development Program at @commercebank.

I’m excited. I’m grateful. I’m expectant.

Because when we gather with intention, armed with tools, truth, and just the right amount of color and fun, transformation happens.

Time to lean in, show up, and do the work!
