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 COVID's Lasting Impact On Employee Expectations with this recap and you can follow along at the bottom for additional courage, inspiration, and ideas.
Recap 4 of 5: COVID's Lasting Impact On Employee Expectations
Quick note from Jason:
As I reflect on insights from our courageous panelists, I can't help but have a renewed sense of conviction for taking on tough, uncertain challenges in this post-COVID era with an open, empathetic mind. Truly building context and empathy for your people and consumers will create fresh understanding required for building a new playbook for this uncertain world.

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!
An empathetic and understanding work environment has a positive correlation with results. Do you agree or disagree?
What is one actionable step you can take to show your team that you care?
In what areas are you driving policy re: work expectations v. authentically engaging employees/stakeholders to understand their current realities? Are you open to changing course based on what you learn?
