The Courage Effect

By: Suzanne Weller - Weller Collaboration
  • Summary

  • The Courage Effect is a show about growth and unleashing what’s possible. Developed by our host Suzanne Weller, The Courage Effect is a place for inspiration and empowerment through conversation. Where we talk about what we’ve learned through wrangling fear, risk, and uncertainty -- no matter how big (or small) the challenge. Whether it’s a professional reinvention, standing up for what we believe in, fighting inequality, or smaller actions like speaking to a stranger – these courageous stories move us into where change happens.
