Braver than Before Success Stories
How leading organisations unlocked courage, collaboration, and innovation to achieve extraordinary results.
Microsoft: Breaking Silos to Drive Revenue Growth
When Microsoft aimed to accelerate revenue growth within a key business unit, the path forward was clear: braver conversations and stronger collaboration.
To succeed, leaders needed to foster increased trust, break down silos and build deeper, more meaningful relationships- with clients, resellers, and each other.
“We have partnered with The Bravest Path for a number of years on cultural transformation and their work is world class. The impact their programmes have had on my organisation’s engagement, connection, and their ability to have more difficult conversations together has consistently exceeded my expectations.”
— Senior Vice President, Consumer Sales and Marketing, Microsoft
BP: Building Trust to Drive Team Innovation
When BP set out to strengthen collaboration within its operations team, leaders recognised the need for greater openness, psychological safety, and shared trust.
Through the programme, team members developed the skills and confidence to have braver conversations, share honestly, and support each other through change.
“The level of engagement in the conversations in our team are different. I feel more comfortable and confident that I can share with others anything that is going on in this team. This programme has really accelerated the level of trust — we’re trying new things together!”
— Senior Operations Manager, BP
