Creative Courage Lab

Move from playing it safe to taking bold action.

The Problem:

Talented teams stall because they don’t trust their pioneering instincts. They opt for small, safe ideas to avoid risking failure.

Your next big idea is getting blocked by fear.

The Solution:

Breaking cycles of self-doubt, comfort, and fear only happens when risk-taking feels safe.

The Creative Courage Lab is designed to redefine your team’s relationship with fear and failure so they can consistently bring their bold ideas to life.

Six highly engaging sessions built on Wolf House Fables' pillars of courageous creativity:

  • Wonder-Driven Curiosity to disrupt habituated comfort.

  • Mash-Up Artistry to spark novel solutions.

  • Intuitive Action that powers decisive speed.

  • Playful Grit to experiment beyond fear.

  • Meaning-Making to unlock breakthrough understanding. 

How It Runs:

  • Diagnostic Survey: a short pulse survey to identify where your team's playing-it-safe habits actually show up, so the sessions are built around your team.

  • 90-minute Virtual Sessions: five experiential, energizing, and actionable workshops spaced out through the year.

  • In-person immersion: a half-day workshop at the half way point to unlock the team’s pioneering instincts and solve real business problems together.

Real Fears

These are real quotes from the diagnostic survey:

“In big meetings I’m afraid of saying the wrong thing. So I stay silent when I actually have opinions.”

“Fear is a near-constant companion. I really wrestle with self-doubt and self-criticism.”

“I’m afraid my big project will fail and I'll be humiliated.”

How the Lab Transforms Fear:

  • Inner Critic Decoupling: separates your identity from the voice saying, “Who do you think you are to make this?"

  • Courageous Action Frameworks: shift the metric of success from perfection to bravery to overcome the voice saying, “It's not perfect yet, don't show anyone.”

  • Creative Risk-Taking Exercises: regulate the nervous system to handle the discomfort of being seen and quiet the voice saying, “Stay in your lane.”

The ROI:

  • Rooted Confidence: Creating work from a place of authority and authenticity, free from imposter syndrome.

  • Rapid Execution: Launching ideas / projects faster, saving wasted time, and generating results sooner.

  • Market Differentiation: Standing out as innovation leaders, making bold moves the competition is too afraid to make.

Testimonials

  • Brad is so great at setting the stage/intention, grabbing folks attention, and getting a team to participate and coalesce around ideas. He does this in such a humble and creative way which makes going on a creative journey with him so easy and approachable. It's refreshing, and frankly just fun.

    Brady, Founder at Madtree Brewing

  • After the in-person session I realized I was the one holding my team back. I already emailed my engineering partner and told him three new ideas we're going to pursue.

    Sr. Manager, CEUX at Google

  • The work Brad did with our group not only brought immediate value - it made a lasting imprint on how we show up as a team and as a business. I truly believe we'll look back on our time with him as a pivotal moment that shifted the way we operate - and, ultimately, the trajectory of our success.
