An Invitation to Courage

We are all too familiar with this feeling:

The fear of failure.

The fear of being wrong.

The fear of rejection.

The fear of being emotionally uncomfortable.

Research tells us these fears are common, part of what makes us human. Many of us are trying to be courageous in the face of these fears, step by gentle step.

But what if our workplaces, where we spend so much time, instead of helping us feel supported, make these fears worse?

When fear stops us from sharing ideas, pointing out issues, or speaking up about problems, it's not just our own growth that's stifled, but the entire team's chance to innovate, thrive, and succeed.

Speaking up is more than just an action; it's a crucial part of being ourselves, vital for our growth. And creating a space where everyone feels safe to be courageous?is key for any organization's success.?

So, how can you, as a leader, help cultivate a culture of courage, where it is not only encouraged but celebrated??
