Courageous Agility Certification

Delivered live on ZOOM

Courageous Agility™  is our flagship 3-module certification for those interested in achieving immediate results without a long training ramp-up time. Courageous Agility™  focuses on equipping leaders and managers to collaborate successfully by understanding their cognitive & behavioral preferences and respecting other's unique preferences. During the program, we purposely address Cognitive Divergence & Cognitive Agility  - differences and adaptability of perspective or information processing and behavioral styles not predicted by factors such as skills, gender, ethnicity, or age. Human cognitive processing styles can be detected in how people naturally send information as well as how they naturally receive information in the form of Details, Evidence, Empathy, and Prospective (D.E.E.P.)™

We help leaders identify and measure their preferred cognitive processing styles using the EmergeneticsⓇ Profile, a scientifically valid and reliable tool that reveals the brilliance of diversity in all cognitive processing styles. Instead of focusing on fitting you or your organization into the middle of a bell curve - being average; our objective is to focus on your diversity - what makes you unique - and help you move the entire team culture to higher levels of performance - co-elevating mastery and meaning. Through Courageous Agility, you focus on the best of who you are and what you are able to accomplish with others. Success begets success and by focusing precisely on what works; you receive more of what works for real people in real workplaces.  This program meets the International Society for Performance Improvement's 10 Standards of Performance and the PLUS Standards for Potomac.
