Ian Clawson is the co-founder of BraveCore and co-author of Brave Together. His work is shaped by more than a decade in healthcare culture, where leadership is not an abstract idea. It shows up in trust, communication, pressure, uncertainty, and the way people work together when the stakes are real.

Ian brings a grounded, human lens to co-creation. He has spent his career paying attention to what happens beneath the surface of teams: where ownership gets blurry, where tension goes unspoken, where communication starts to break down, and where good people get stuck in systems that make collaboration harder.

His teaching helps leaders see those patterns more clearly and practice a better way to lead teams through real work.

Chris Deaver is the co-founder of BraveCore and co-author of Brave Together. His work is shaped by decades inside some of the world’s most creative and high-performing organizations, where he saw a clear pattern: the best ideas rarely come from more control. They come from the right people thinking, challenging, and building together.

Chris brings a rare lens to leadership: part culture architect, part creative strategist, part co-creation practitioner. He has helped leaders move beyond bureaucracy, hierarchy, and siloed execution toward a more human way of building what comes next.

His teaching helps leaders understand how shared intelligence becomes a real operating advantage, especially in a world where AI is changing how teams think, create, and make decisions.
