Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Have you ever gone through your work day and looked in the mirror and said, “I wish I’d had more courage!”? Imagine: “How might your life change if you discovered that some of your everyday behaviors demonstrate profound courage?” Reflect on these two questions: • What’s your definition of courage and why is it vital to claim it for yourself? • What action would you do right now if you had unlimited courage? Courrrrage! Yes, this word is hard to say! When was the last time you used it? As a global speaker I am on a mission to resurrect the power of everyday courage and courageous leadership by simply embracing the original definition, meaning "heart and spirit." I help organizations and individuals claim and apply the powerful virtue they already possess: courage. With over 20 years of original courage research, I prove that there is a direct correlation between your success quotient and your courage quotient. Topics include "Courage—Your Untapped Reservoir in the Workplace," "Courage: The Cornerstone to Great Workplaces" or "Courageous Leadership--An INside Job!" (I customize all presentations to fit the theme and demographics.) One client said, “I can always tell when a speaker has been successful at our conferences because I hear the group repeating concepts, anecdotes, examples, etc. that they heard during the presentation. And this was certainly true with Sandra’s talk.” With three internationally published books, "COURAGE The Heart and Spirit of Every Woman," "FACE IT! 12 Courageous Actions that Bring Success at Work and Beyond" and "The Courage Difference at Work: A Unique Success Guide for Women" and numerous articles published in "Chief Learning Officer," "Strategic Finance" and "Ziglar Weekly Newsletter." Courageously yours, Sandra Ford Walston Changing lives and leaving a memorable experience. My motto: "Make courage your daily legacy."

The Colorado Rural Health Center would like to acknowledge Sandra Ford Walston, The Courage Expert, for her inspirational and thought-provoking keynote - “Courageous Leadership – An INside Job!” delivered at the 23rd Annual Rural Health Conference. She was encouraging, focused, and exceptionally knowledgeable, and engaged our members in a lively discussion about courageous leadership. The healthcare industry has been through a lot of change and it is critical for rural healthcare providers to have the opportunity to come together to appreciate these changes and prepare for the future. Sandra’s concept of courage and her extensive research on the topic proved useful and applicable to our audience. Sandra definitely met our expectations! Sandra is one of those rare individuals who will not let the obstacles of life stop her from being a success in life. It was a message clearly delivered in her speech and one that needed to be heard by our audience. I strongly recommend Sandra as a motivational speaker to any group. Sandra will inspire anyone and everyone to discover their courage.

To Whom It May Concern: I recently hired Sandra Ford Walston to present at our annual winter conference. She did a fantastic job of enlightening and encouraging our members to live their lives with courage. She is energetic, intelligent, and a wonderful speaker who sweeps the audience up with her enthusiasm. After giving us an overview of the concept of courage and her research on the topic, she broke us up into groups and guided us to draft a “pretend” Courageous Leadership Charter, detailing how we would hold our organization and its members accountable for being courageous leaders, and what the results of that might be. Some of the participants took the charter back to their offices and were excited to create a “real” charter with their staff. I think this is the utmost compliment that can be given – that what they learned is important and they are going to pass it along to others. I can always tell when a speaker has been successful at our conferences because I hear the group repeating concepts, anecdotes, examples, etc. which they heard during the presentation. And this was certainly true with Sandra’s talk. I would recommend Sandra to anyone looking for an enthusiastic, tireless, and informative speaker, with years of research to back her up.
