What are people saying

Words from clients & colleagues

"Dr. Courage! is an inspirational speaker. Her story helps her audience find their internal motivation to help, to create change, and to BE the change that is needed in their own worlds.
She has been instrumental in helping us expand our support base, and to put a face to the benefits society gains as LifeSource gives people "a hand up, not just a hand out." She is an inspirational example of how investing in people makes a tangible difference in their lives, in the community, in the economy, and in the giver.

I had the privilege of taking diversity & multicultural communication with Dr. Courage!, one of the most rewarding classes ever. I now see the stereotypes portrayed in television, which I had been completely oblivious to before. I also can watch interactions, or have an interaction with someone from a different culture and not be nervous about the differences, instead I am curious and more patient. Although I cannot make a change in intercultural relations, I now understand it more and can influence my in-group, and even expand my in-group. By starting there, maybe I can change intercultural relations.
Thank you for such a wonderful class!

Dr. Courage! engages businesses, non-profits, educators and our communities to come together to accomplish and sustain great wins. Using the combination of intellect and heart, she succeeds at stimulating communication of ideas in organizations and inspires them to dream and passionately work to bring the ideas to life. I have worked with Dr. Courage! in both higher education and in serving the community in various organizations. In her pursuit of solutions, she challenges the status quo, asks probing questions and then works collaboratively to determine new paths for greater service in the organization. I found her work training students to be critical thinkers and critical doers extremely exciting.

Thanks Dr. Courage! for bridging the gap of intellect and the heart . . . ideas and dreams….put into actions driving success!

As a professor, Dr. Courage! taught us valuable communication skills and how to incorporate them into our everyday life. She is genuinely insightful. True to her name, she gave me the courage to courageously go beyond the ordinary and onto something much more meaningful and fulfilling in life.
