Lamont Moon began his career by helping struggling organizations identify and realize their full potential. His passion has always been in the categories of coaching and mentoring—finding and cultivating the substantive center of what makes leaders worthy. Recognizing the waste that exists in traditional training through the model of filling a room and teaching irrelevant and uncontextualized theories, Lamont founded Courageous Leadership in 1998 to help individual leaders be more effective with what they needed to achieve. Realizing this same approach needed to be accessible and affordable to all levels of associates within organizations, Lamont created PRAXIS, a mentoring and performance development resource that has been utilized by Fortune 100 companies since 2003. His history as a consultant has given him the opportunity to affect leaders within the Department of Defense, H&R Block, Vermeer Manufacturing, Boys and Girls club, Herman Miller, Centurion Medical, Merrill Lynch, and others.

Lamont continues to work with leaders from Fortune 500 companies and non-profit organizations to help catalyze results-centered leadership. He believes that each person has a capacity for an impact that needs to be identified, developed, and expressed for effectiveness in worthy leadership while also holding fast to the idea that any development activity not producing real results is not worth an investment.

Lamont has Master"s degrees in Human Ecology and Business, has developed his own “Transformation Model” of personal and organizational practices that dependably strengthen the performance of leaders at all levels, and is currently engaged in publishing his first book to complement his PRAXIS mentoring resource.
