Courage Goes to Work introduces the new practice of courage-building. The book, which received over 50 endorsements from world-class business luminaries, focuses on building workforce courage. As the book shows, people perform better when operating out of courage and confidence than when they are operating out of fear and anxiety. The entire organization benefits when everyone is showing up to work each day with just a little bit more courage! Learn more at: www.couragegoestowork.com.
The book's foreword was written by Sara Blakely, founder of SPANX, a $200 million dollar international retail enterprise, and Giant Leap Consulting client.

Right Risk is the first self-help book to focus solely on building personal courage. The book, which has been published in four languages, draws upon Bill Treasurer's experience as an organizational development professional, and as a former daredevil athlete. For 7 years, Bill traveled around the globe as a member of the U.S. High Diving Team. During that time he performed over 1500 high dives from heights that scaled to over 100 feet (the equivalent of a 10-story building!). Bill takes the lessons that he learned as a captain of the U.S. High Diving Team, and uses them to help readers face whatever high dives they may be facing. Management Guru Ken Blanchard called Right Risk a book for our times.

 How Risk-Taking Really Works
Training January 2000
The snowflakes were the deciding factor. It was bad enough that I was in a remote German village, the ladder was shaky, the pool wasn't heated, and the water was in the low 40s. But snow?
