High Performance Begins With Social Courage
Most organisations don’t struggle with intelligence. They struggle with inaction. Sales calls not made. Conversations avoided. Opportunities left untouched. Social courage is the behavioural skill that closes the gap between knowing and doing.
What is social courage?
Get your place the best makeover possible.
Social courage is the willingness to act in situations where there’s a risk of judgement, rejection or discomfort.
It shows up in everyday moments: starting a conversation, reaching out to someone new, speaking up in a meeting, asking a question or following up on an opportunity.
These actions are simple – but they’re often avoided.
Not because people lack ability, but because they hesitate.
Social courage is what closes that gap. It’s the decision to act before you feel fully ready – and to let confidence follow.

The 500 lunches
The 500 lunches
To understand how relationships shape opportunity, I set myself a simple challenge: to have lunch with 500 strangers.
Over several years, I reached out to people from a wide range of professions and backgrounds – entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, politicians, academics and many others – and invited them to meet for a one-on-one conversation.
What began as an experiment became an education in human behaviour.
Again and again, I saw the same pattern. Opportunity flowed through relationships. And relationships were shaped by small moments of initiative – a message sent, a conversation started, a question asked.
But I also saw how often capable people held back. Not because they lacked intelligence or ambition, but because they hesitated in those moments.
That hesitation has real consequences in organisations.
It shows up as conversations not had, ideas not shared, opportunities not pursued and relationships not built. Over time, it limits performance, slows decision-making and reduces the impact of otherwise capable people.
The 500 lunches made one thing clear: the difference is rarely talent. It’s the willingness to act.

This work is grounded in lived experience, not theory.
It is based on a long-term experiment of having one-on-one conversations with 500 strangers across a wide range of professions and backgrounds.
The insights from those conversations form the foundation of The 500 Lunches Effect, a book exploring how small acts of social courage shape opportunity, relationships and performance.
Today, that work is shared through keynote speaking, corporate training and advisory engagements with organisations looking to strengthen initiative, communication and connection.
The ideas have also been explored through interviews across television, radio and podcasts, reflecting a growing interest in the role of human connection in professional life.
