Courageous Democracy
Like you, we’re concerned about divisiveness and rancor in our society. We took what we have learned over the years with our clients through the Courageous Leadership and Courageous Equity & Inclusion programs, and then sought out people reaching across differences to [re]build trust and a sense of shared purpose.
“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching to mend the part that is within our reach.”
