012: A Humanitarian Approach to Creating Cultures of Courage with Sarah Morse
January 23, 2023
The thread of culture weaves its way through every element of our life; it underpins how we work, how we think, in our relationships, our communities and creates the rules for the social and economic environments within which we all exist.
Culture, wherever it shows, shapes how we see ourselves, the world, and opportunities. And unless we are willing to explore and experience the cultural lives of others we remain completely unaware of what happens when more oppressive cultures are allowed to thrive - when freedoms are stripped away, practices dictated, and hope abandoned.
In this episode of the Raise 1000 Voices podcast Sarah Morse and I weave our way through just some of her global humanitarian adventures, and the formidable foundations it has created as she takes a Humanitarian Approach to creating Cultures of C.O.U.R.A.G.E.

At 16 years of age, Sarah mustered the courage to go to East Germany by herself and this adventure became an initiation to both culture shock and REVERSE culture shock - and ignited a lifetime obsession with just how the human experience is shaped by the culture it is immersed in. She has led a humanitarian life filled with a desire to discover, explore and experience how others live.
Armed with a wealth of experience, Sarah is compelled to transform corporate Australia. Her devotion to bringing courage to workplace cultures is beyond compare. She believes in the importance of being intentional in establishing great workplace cultures that facilitate a positive impact on personal lives.
Being gifted with extraordinary experiences has given Sarah an opportunity to look at life through a different lens, challenge conventional thinking, and have the courage to make a difference.
