Courage Speakers

We usually think of “courage” as a brave man with a gun, but more often than not, courage is much more subtle. It’s having the courage to stand up for what’s right. To fight for others who don’t have a voice. To forge ahead even though things look bleak. Inject a little courage into your next event with WSB’s leadership coaches, former Presidents, astronauts, military veterans, and other courageous speakers. Available for in-person or virtual events and meetings.
