Courage in Action Series
Practical leadership coaching you can put to work right away.
Leadership challenges don’t always require another model or a lengthy conversation. Sometimes, you need a fresh perspective, a useful question or a practical idea you can apply today.
In these short solo episodes, Amy Riley tackles real leadership challenges and shares practical strategies for navigating them with greater courage and intention.
Topics include building trust, making decisions under pressure, inspiring engagement, leading through setbacks and more.
Great for leaders who want to:
- Get practical leadership ideas in a short amount of time
- Think differently about a challenge they are facing
- Walk away with questions, tools and actions they can immediately use
Leadership courage shows up in the moments that happen every day — the conversation you need to have, the decision you need to make and the way you choose to show up.
Unfiltered: Courageous Conversations Series
Real conversations about the things leaders — and humans in general — don’t always talk about.
Leadership is personal. What happens in our lives, relationships and inner worlds comes with us to work.
In Unfiltered: Courageous Conversations, Amy Riley and Daphna Horowitz have candid conversations about topics that can be difficult, uncomfortable or simply overlooked — and explore what they mean for how we live and lead.
These conversations go beyond traditional leadership advice to examine the very human experiences that shape who we are.
Topics range from grief, anger and loneliness to introversion, menopause, control, passion, decision-making and more.
Listen when you want to:
- Hear a thoughtful, candid conversation rather than polished leadership advice
- Explore the human side of leadership
- Challenge your own thinking and assumptions
- Feel a little less alone in experiences we don’t always discuss openly
Sometimes courage means saying out loud what everyone else is thinking — yet no one is talking about.
