Our Philosophy

The Courageous Personal Leadership Model

 Research is clear that when people are effective in demonstrating the skills represented by the Four Principles of
Courageous Personal Leadership, they are more confident, creative, and productive. In addition, they make
better decisions, communicate more effectively, are stronger relationship builders, take more risks, garner
more active support for their ideas, and have better personal well-being.

The M.A.D.E. To Lead team defines the Four Principles of Courageous Personal Leadership as the ability to
effectively Manage your internal environment, Ask for what you need, Decide to take risks, and Embody your
personal mission, vision and values. These principles are the heart of the Courageous Personal Leadership
model, and serve as the foundation for our coaching, speaking and training philosophies.
