The Everyday Courage Experience

Hi, I’m Louis Katz, and I’m here to help you and your organization tap into The Courage Inside.

No, I haven’t jumped out of an airplane yet, though I’ve had the honor of photographing the US Army Parachute Team, the Golden Knights, on several occasions. These men and women—combat veterans who’ve completed seven or eight tours—now jump out of airplanes for a living. That takes courage. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to leap from 10,000 feet to be courageous. Courage happens in the everyday moments where fear meets action, and that’s what I’m here to help you and your team embrace.

What Makes This More Than a Keynote?

The Everyday Courage Experience is an immersive journey designed to energize and transform your team. Drawing inspiration from icons like Muhammad Ali, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan, it’s like a rock concert—without the deafening music. It blends storytelling, humor, and actionable tools to help your team not just talk about courage but live it.

Why Courage Matters for Your Organization

Courage isn’t just a feel-good concept—it’s a competitive advantage. When individuals and teams embrace courage, they:

1. Kick the Competition to the Curb: Courage sparks bold thinking and decisive action. Organizations that cultivate this culture don’t just keep up—they lead.

2. Achieve Mission Success: Whether it’s driving innovation, adapting to challenges, or deepening customer relationships, courage equips your team to execute with clarity and resolve.

3. Build Trust and Collaboration: Courageous teams communicate openly, innovate boldly, and create an environment where everyone’s voice is heard.

4. Take Risks That Matter: Fear holds organizations back. I’ll help your team reframe fear as opportunity, turning calculated risks into extraordinary results.

What I Do

At The Courage Inside, I inspire leaders and teams to embrace a culture of courage through keynotes, workshops, and coaching. My approach meets people where they are, helping them:

• Speak up when it matters most.

• Lead with authenticity and clarity.

• Overcome fear and take meaningful action.

• Create lasting change in their organizations and themselves.

What to Expect

Your team will leave this experience:

• Energized with the confidence to take bold steps.

• Equipped with practical tools to foster innovation and collaboration.

• Inspired to face challenges head-on, no matter how daunting.

Why Me?

I’ve been where you are. As a business leader, photographer, comedian, and speaker, I’ve navigated countless fears and unknowns. I’ve faced my own courage tests—whether stepping onstage for the first time, making tough calls as a leader, or standing at 10,000 feet with the Golden Knights. I know what it’s like to take that first step into the unknown, and I’m passionate about helping others do the same.
