Break free from the habits that sabotage success
the skill that changes how you work, lead and live
Can be a keynote, workshop or fire side chat
Your people aren’t disengaged because they don’t care.
They’re disengaged because they’re navigating constant pressure, change, and uncertainty without the skills to move through it.
They hesitate to speak up.
They avoid hard conversations.
They second-guess decisions.
They stay quiet instead of taking ownership.
That’s not a motivation problem.
It’s a missing skill.
Courage is not a personality trait.
It’s not something you’re born with or without.
It’s a learnable skill built through practice in everyday moments.
In The Courage Advantage, Jessica Rector delivers a bold, practical keynote that shows people exactly how courage is developed—through small, repeatable actions taken when things feel uncomfortable or uncertain.
From Mindset Shift to Real Transformation
Interactive strategies that create unstoppable momentum
Grounded in research on behavior change and resilience, and reinforced through real-world experience, this keynote teaches a proven framework people can use immediately at work—whether they’re speaking up in meetings, navigating change, setting boundaries, or making decisions without perfect information.
When people learn how to practice courage, they stop freezing under pressure.
They become more resourceful, more confident, and more capable—because they’ve built the skill through action.
This keynote gives your people the tools to develop courage the same way they develop any other skill—by using it—so individuals grow, teams communicate better, and organizations create faster momentum.
And that’s The Courage Advantage.

Step Into courage
Your people don’t need more motivation—they need the courage to act when pressure is high, change is constant, and burnout is close. When organizations bring Jessica Rector in to speak, they’re equipping their people with a trainable skill that directly impacts performance, engagement, and retention. Jessica shows audiences how fear, hesitation, and comfort quietly shape behavior at work—and how to replace them with practical courage strategies people can use immediately.
Drawing from research, real-world experience, and proven frameworks, Jessica activates courage in the room through real-time participation—whether live or virtual—so people leave knowing exactly how to speak up, navigate uncertainty, set boundaries, and lead under pressure. The result is more confident, focused, and resourceful teams who communicate better, perform stronger, and stay engaged longer.
