CHAMPIONS. IT'S
WHAT YOU GET
WITH COURAGE
Champions aren't just intrigued. They lift others from "wait + see" to "Let's make this happen." They don't just act. They bring others with them - to be risk-ready, not risk-averse. Champions say, "Let's go," because they look forward and see what's possible by following your lead- even before they can look backward and count the profits.
Winning champions is your most important job. It's what sets a leader apart from a brilliant inventor - so bold technical success becomes business and impact success. Champions expand your reach - in the meetings and field tests you can't attend and with decision-makers who speak a foreign language. When champions work together, rather than go rogue, you create a network multiplier effect, so champions look to each other as a user, PI, partner, cross-functional or investor community who contributes to each other's success.
Winning champions is emotional work. Especially now, when times are tough, when critics grandstand, when capital looks scarcer than it actually is, and when you have commitments to family and country to balance. It starts with your personal mastery and resilience - and then with your social awareness. With your eye on the prize, so you optimize value-creation and impact, and strengthen your brand promise with a strong network multiplier effect.
Here's what Courage can give you - for a single key leader or a cohort of leaders who are keys to win champions and mobilize champions as network multipliers:

COURAGE. TO FACE MOMENTS OF TRUTH WITH THE POWER TO ENNOBLE + UPLIFT
Which of these moments of truth do your leaders face - when you need champions to be risk-ready, not risk-averse network multipliers who help you get traction, get funded and drive successful adoption? If you check any of these boxes, we'd like to add you to the many success stories we've equipped innovation leaders to achieve:
☑️ Due diligence deliberations - so the deeper a potential investor, buyer or regulatory advisor dives, the more confidence they have that you're equipped to do them proud with a network multiplier and a positive impact and ROI
☑️ Performance gaps - when the data say, "Lift your game. Accelerate traction. Get mobilized better. Be accountable," and egos or entitlements say, "We're OK as we are. Give it time. I'm in charge." Or, "I'm overwhelmed + paralyzed."
☑️ Personality or authority clashes - when egos and "who gets to push their agenda" should be less important than "what's best to get traction, get funded and strengthen your brand promise and optimize your impact + ROI
☑️ Implement new domain expertise - when you hired experts to upgrade "how we've always done things" with better security, safety, financial disciplines, regulatory or reimbursement insights, marketing, HR, PM or other practices
☑️ Compete on value not price - to profit with product/service hybrids that deliver better supply chain management, patient wellness, health economics, safety, risk-reduction or AI efficiency and make you a partner, not a vendor
☑️ Close deals faster - when too many prospects lack a sense of urgency or a fear of missing out or ghost you, even after you won their pitch competitions or delivered a stellar demo and presentation
☑️ Land + expand more profitably - so success in one division of a strategic account opens doors to multi-division multi-service multi-partner opportunities where you can scale to deliver on your brand promise
☑️ Be selective about opportunities - to stick with an ICP and ideal investor and strategic partner profile that will value the brand promise that you take pride in delivering, and walk away from those who diminish your brand promise
☑️ Keep doors open after a firm "No" or "Not now" - so you start a dialogue, not end the dialogue and equip the champion you're advising to make good risk-ready, not risk-averse decisions about their business impact
☑️ Fix/prevent hiring mistakes - so you don't get star blinded by big-image credentials or by "who's connected to whom in you board," and look at fit-for-purpose to deliver the Objectives + Key Results that are enterprise-vital
☑️ Scale for success - so you're ready for more demand, for foreign markets, for multiple locations, therapeutic areas or user applications and for co-ordinated execution that delights and delivers on your brand promise
☑️ Remote-work diverse collaborations - to get the best from teammates and networks who work in multiple locations and time zones, hybrid or remote-work configurations, multiple languages and diverse cultures and thinking styles
☑️ Refine the definition of product/market fit - so you achieve what's possible with KOLs, education, customer success, partnerships + network multipliers, not just "Here's our innovation. Isn't it cool? Now it's yours. Good luck."
☑️ Renew vitality, resilience and engagement - when you need teams to show up with their A-game, day after day, in a fast-paced high-pressure no-room-for-failure environment at a time of low reserves, global uncertainty + vulnerability
