Are You Ready to Stop Playing It Safe?
Too often, HR leaders fall into the “professional puppy” trap; friendly, agreeable, and safe, but hesitant to take the actions that drive real change.
Courage X is an experience designed specifically for existing and aspiring HR leaders, as well as CEOs who want to strengthen their partnership with people and culture. Through practical techniques, Courage X will help you step into your role as a courageous HR Leader, stepping up as required, making confident decisions, influencing at all levels, and driving meaningful transformation.
This also marks the launch of Veronica Anthony-David's new book, The Courageous CPO Playbook: How HR Leaders Stop Playing It Safe to Drive Real Change, your essential guide to leading with impact.
If you’re ready to lead with courage rather than comfort, this experience is your first step. Join the waiting list to receive confirmed details as soon as they’re available.

This is an in-person only event. We believe attending LIVE is essential to maximise the value of the experience, including networking opportunities and building lasting relationships with other like-minded, dedicated CPOs and HRDs. Therefore, no virtual options will be available.
It will be a day of deep strategy and immersive work, designed to help you amplify your influence, lead more courageously, and smash KPIs. Our Exclusive Days are not just about building connections. It has been designed to help you work on a current challenge. Our goal is to inspire and guide you throughout the day to tackle a key challenge, helping you accelerate your growth and develop strategies to achieve your KPIs more efficiently.
While we appreciate the interest from industry partners who might like to exhibit at the Strategy Day, we believe their involvement could divert focus from our core vision for the day, which is entirely dedicated to providing you with practical support. However we welcome sponsorship arrangements.
If you're unable to attend after confirming, you may transfer your ticket to someone in a similar role. If you don't attend or transfer it, costs will apply.
