At The Garage Group, we’re on a mission to unlock courage in leaders required to keep their brand portfolios relevant and growing in the face of uncertainty.
We created the Courageous Minds Only Community to give corporate leaders courage, inspiration, and ideas for building the future in an uncertain world.
Jason Hauer, Co-founder and Head of Growth at The Garage Group, and Founder of the Courageous Minds Only Community recently led an inspiring conversation in Chicago at 1871 with top leaders to dig into their lessons learned on operating with courage in the face of uncertainty:

This conversation was so packed with inspiration and insights we couldn't fit it all on one page...
We're digging into Stepping into Defining Moments with Courage with this recap and you can follow along at the bottom for additional courage, inspiration, and ideas.
Recap 1 of 5: Stepping into defining Moments with Courage
Quick note from Jason:
The convo in Chicago reminded me of times my back has really been against the wall...
In the midst of turbulence, I didn’t always see it as a major unlock for skills and abilities I didn’t know I had...
But, because I didn’t quit and doubled down on hard work and persistence...
I was able to grow my confidence, skills & experiences, and create opportunities for myself...
MSJ, Michelle, Laura, and Dondeena all had these "Super Bowl" moments they stepped into...
They moved forward, learned, and grew through the process...
MSJ's Super Bowl moment...
Lindsay saying yes to an opportunity she had no direct experience for...
Michelle: Taking risk is addictive...
Dondeena pressing forward in the face of CEO skepticism...
Commitment to action:
With the Courageous Minds Only Community...
It’s not enough to just show up and watch...
Our encouragement is to internalize what you watched (+ rewatch a couple of times and include your team)...
And, truly commit to taking at least one insight or perspective that impacts you and putting it into action...
Make yourself, your team, and your company better...
If you’re committed to that, you’ll take action!
Given the market turbulence, are you in a "Super Bowl" moment right now?
Do you see this moment as an opportunity to push yourself to the next level?
In this moment, how will you start leading differently?
