I've been a student of great innovators, business tycoons, and CEOs for twenty years. By far the most predictive leadership quality is courage, particularly when a bold new path is needed. Taking decisive action in the face of massive uncertainty can be a lonely experience. Vulnerabilities are exposed. Red flags are raised. Yet creativity demands it. Welby's book is an absolute must read for anyone aspiring to make an impact in the business world. You'll not only learn how to be a better leader, you'll be inspired to be a better human being.

– Jeffrey Cohn, author of award winning book Why Are We Bad at Picking Good Leaders (Jossey Bass), as well as numerous Harvard Business Review articles on leadership and innovation

In Creative Courage, Welby Altidor deftly expands the scope of what we traditionally call creative practice to include those from all callings and walks of life. Drawing illustrative threads from both the personal and professional, Altidor weaves a vision that is not only inspiring, but also provides the reader tools for moving towards imaginative action. Whether on the world stage or the theater of our own day-to-day lives, Creative Courage can help bring freshness and agility to how we approach our collaborations with others.

Creative Courage makes you look at the process of creation in a whole new light! Definitely a book to live by when you want to take your creative and collaborative skills to the next level. Just a great read for inspiring minds.”

When I met Welby Altidor, one of the very first things he asked me was, “What are your dreams?” Welby has the gift of tapping right into your loftiest imagination.. and simultaneously giving you the sense that you just might achieve it. It's not a wonder. Welby has had backstage access to some of the most incredible creative talent on the planet. Written in a deeply personal and thoughtful voice, this book offers readers a chance to feel a part of Welby's world and find the creative courage they need to pursue their dreams.

Creative Courage brings a new ideological vocabulary that can spark epiphanies. It reminds us that the experience of creation is as important as the result of the work. After all, the journey of creation is what makes our daily life.

– Asinnajaq, curator and filmmaker, Three Thousand

This book highlights the power of the collective genius of true “intuition driven” co-creation. It focuses on a three-way interaction —

1. A man's personal story. 2. A man's professional story. 3. How a man magnificently encapsulates his audience.

If you channel what you genuinely feel from your very essence (not from your past story), your truth will show up in the most unexpected ways. A truly brilliant read.
