It takes a spark to get a fire burning. CB is that spark. She encourages, lights up, and warms all those around her. She describes herself as the Courage Consultant and after you have been interviewed by her - like I have - or are fortunate enough to interview her as a subject, as I also have, you will leave with your own courage re-energized. More than a spark, actually, CB radiates like the sun.

We wanted to speak about Courage in an especially complex time to make risky decisions and CB brought a motivating, inspiring view and valuable proposals to take action. The conference participants enjoyed her presentation and valued highly positively her contributions. As for me, I feel very fortunate and grateful for having CB in my life.”

One of my favorite podcasts out there! There are so many podcasts out there that it is impossible to keep up. But one show that I am always sure never to miss is "CB Bowman Live: Challenges of the C-Suite"! Not only is the show always interesting and educational, but it is also light, fun, and entertaining. CB's mix of wonderful guests, casual and conversational style, and insightful observations make for a winning combination...not only for those in the C-Suite, but for anyone and everyone.

“I had the opportunity to meet CB while I have been part of the organizing team of the 10th AECOP International Executive Coaching Congress. CB shared in Congress a really inspiring keynote presentation on Courage and Fear Management. I was fascinated by her generosity and integrity in her relationship with her, being able to generate immense trust with her humility and enthusiasm. CB has a great capacity for empathic listening and is able to transform what is difficult into apparently simple and logical ideas. She is an excellent communicator, who generated empowering and positive energy in the attendees, so they were aware of the power in all of us we have to improve in our business and in our lives. It has been wonderful to meet her and to be inspired by her humanity, professionalism, and passion for people.

CB Bowman is one of the most engaging personalities available for leading training or keynotes. You laugh, you cry, and you are drawn into her warmth, wisdom, and humor. Make no mistake – she is also leading her participants to contribute more at work than they ever thought possible. I’ve recently been part of a training cohort she designed and led, and she’s doubled my confidence and rocket-boosted my productivity. She’s amplified the best I have to offer, through respect and tough love. Her personal model of courage and integrity inspires and cuts through excuses. There’s no escape from the self-transformation she invites and demands, and no need to escape, because it works to bring out one’s very best, and is great fun as well!
