ABOUT LEAD WITH COURAGE
LEAD with COURAGE was born of the experiences of its founder, Paul Roggenkamp whose life brought challenges and triumphs inspired by great leadership and frustrated by poor leadership. Following graduation from West Point, through two diverse careers of more than 20 years each, Paul learned from the best and the worst, taking each experience as a lesson on leadership.
Leadership principles do not, have not, will not change… the people in leadership positions either use them properly and lead effectively, or they misuse or don’t use the principles, and subject their people to confusion, insecurity, frustration and anger.
LEAD with COURAGE teaches teams, businesses and individuals through coaching and mentorship the value of effectively applied leadership, and how to become effective, inspirational and intelligent leaders.

“As a Controls Project Engineer of Hispanic descent, I had expertise in my field, but no knowledge of what leadership was. Through the individual teaching and coaching of LEAD with COURAGE, I was able to move forward in my career and life with a leader’s mindset. I was personally taught and guided by Paul through 2 years of a Master’s degree program in the Management of Technology at the University of Minnesota, while also working part-time as an independent software designer and raising a family.”
