Courage Mindset with CB Bowman
CB’s philosophy is: “The answer is the beginning of the question.” Her superpower is the ability to see simple solutions to complex issues where no one else can see them. CB Bowman is the founder of ACEC, the Association of Corporate Executive Coaches, and the CEO of WEE – Workplace Equity & Equality. She was ranked by Marshall Goldsmith Top Global Coaches as the #1 coach for increasing the quality of coaching, and recently was selected to the Thinkers50 2021 Coaching & Mentoring Award Shortlist. CB is truly an enterprise-wide business partner who always sees beyond the surface and towards the future. Many of her senior executive clients call her their secret weapon. She is always available when they need her as their trusted advisor to get them unstuck from complex situations that require a different and fresh perspective. Today, CB joins me to redefine courage. She explains that our classic understanding of courage is too lofty and unattainable, and that the real thing is much more down-to-earth. She gives examples of everyday tasks that take courage and defines courage as the ability to act, despite adversaries and despite supporters. She notes the importance of creating awareness, and she posits that everyone holds responsibility for how what they say comes across to others. She also introduces her 6-step process of courage. “My intent is not to shame or blame. My intent is to create awareness.” - CB Bowman This Week on The Mindset Zone: Redefining courage The different parts of the world we live in that require courage The importance of being aware of how your actions come across to others The 6 step process of courage Resources Mentioned: Ana Talks mindsets with CB Bowman It's the Little Things: Everyday Interactions That Anger, Annoy, and Divide the Races by Lena Williams LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cbbowman/ CB Bowman: cb@cbbowman.com ACEC (Association of Corporate Executive Coaches): https://www.acec-association.org) WEE (Workplace Equity and Equality): https://www.wee-consulting.org Thinkers50: https://thinkers50.com/ Expand what's possible Subscribe to the show and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts | TuneIn | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeartRadio | GooglePlay Be sure to share your favorite episodes on social media to help me reach more people like you, and don’t forget to connect with me: mindset.zone I anamelikian.com I LinkedIn I Facebook
