The Courageous Choice

A courageous choice is a decision the evidence cannot make for you. Every leader knows the moment. This keynote is about leadership courage — what avoiding that moment costs, and what becomes possible when leaders act before they are certain.

Jamie had her own awakening about the role fear played in her life and helps leaders unlock this to drive leadership effectiveness, self alignment, and bold decisions.

What the audience leaves with
01Know the difference between needing more information and needing to decide.
02Separate fear from risk — what can be quantified, reduced or tested before committing.
03Move without certainty, with a recovery plan that makes it survivable.
04Lead visibly without pretending to be certain.
05Create the conditions for other people’s courage: honesty, feedback and dissent that survive being spoken.

“Jamie has a rare ability to challenge people in a way that feels both courageous and deeply human. She asks the questions others may avoid, creates the trust for people to answer honestly, and helps leaders see possibilities they might otherwise miss. I’ve seen firsthand how she can shift a room, challenge assumptions, and inspire people to make bolder choices.”
