Host: Dr. Debra Condren
Discovering the courage to create is a process of transforming your bold ideas into reality. It might be creating an entirely new business, or helping your current company pursue a dramatic new direction, or realizing that you never really wanted to do “this,” you always really wanted to do “that” – and now you’re finally going to go for it. Creative courage offers each of us the chance to change in significant ways – new work, new life, new worlds, new ways of being ourselves. Join Dr. Debra Condren and her guests as they investigate, brainstorm, and imagine how individuals, businesses, organizations, and local and global communities turn brave, impassioned ideas into life-changing results. It’s time for you to make the creative contribution you were born for.
