Embrace Your Courage to SPARKLE: How Leaders & Teams Step Into Their Superpowers

Lois Barth, Human Development Expert, Keynote Speaker, ICF-Certified Executive and Leadership Coach, and Author of Courage to SPARKLE, empowers leaders and teams to shine bright, share their gifts, and make a difference—even in the face of seismic uncertainty, stress, conflicting agendas, and the modern challenge of goldfish-level attention spans.

Through high-energy, laugh-while-you-learn experiences, participants engage in hands-on, science-based exercises, stories, and humor that help them step into their most courageous, authentic selves. This isn’t just inspiration—it’s transformation that drives alignment, engagement, and the confidence to own your voice and contribute fully.

At the heart of Courage to SPARKLE are the 4C’s: Curiosity, Compassion, Connection, and Courage. Curiosity opens the door to asking better questions and embracing different perspectives. Compassion creates the space to understand yourself and others with empathy, reducing friction and stress.

Connection strengthens bonds, collaboration, and engagement across teams. Courage empowers people to act, speak up, and embody the change they want to see, even when the path forward feels uncertain. Together, these four C's help teams uncover their superpowers, assume less, and embrace curiosity as a gateway to deeper collaboration.

The result is practical, actionable takeaways your team can use immediately. Leaders learn to own their voice and inspire others, while teams gain clarity on how to leverage their strengths and show up fully.

Sessions are experiential, interactive, and filled with humor, creating an environment where people can explore, make mistakes, and grow safely.

By embracing the Courage to SPARKLE, participants not only enhance individual performance but also build a culture where authenticity, engagement, and impact thrive—helping both leaders and teams navigate complexity with confidence, curiosity, and connection.
