What is Courage & Renewal?

Tap into your power and live with integrity

“Workplace culture can make it risky to reveal our hearts. So we hide them – and sometimes lose them.”

-Parker J. Palmer Founder Center for Courage & Renewal

What it’s all about?

Established 25 years ago, The Center for Courage & Renewal uses the ‘Circle of Trust’ method to rejoin soul and role. This approach teaches you skills for deeper listening, wholehearted decision-making, exploring your vocation and building trustworthy relationships leading to renewed clarity, commitment and the courage to act with integrity on what matters most to you.

Is this life coaching?

While there are some similarities to both life coaching and career coaching, there are also many differences. The Courage & Renewal approach:

Offers a safe, supportive space without challenge or judgement
Uses poetry, storytelling, music, images and myth to access deep emotions
Invites you to draw your own conclusions
Focuses on who you are as a person, not what you do
Addresses immediate concerns and refocuses long-held beliefs
Provides the support of a non-judgemental community

“Poetry is very effective at allowing people to say what’s in their hearts through other people’s words. I have found it quite amazing.”

Is it for me?

If you are open-minded and wish to live in a more wholehearted way, then the Courage & Renewal approach is for you. It is accessible to anyone at any stage of life. If you want to know more, I’d love to have a chat with you about it.

Becoming a Courage & Renewal Facilitator

Becoming a facilitator takes more than 24 months and involves detailed preparation by the Center for Courage & Renewal. I’m so excited to combine what I’ve learned with my own life experiences to empower men and finance professionals to live more courageously.
