Need a Shot of Courage?

March 15, 2016

Last week I was the keynote speaker at the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce Women's Leadership Forum. If you missed it, here's my Courage Formula:

How does it work? Think of something big (or small) you want to do. What's stopping you? Chances are you've got a really good story that's covering up an unspoken fear. Here's how to identify it:

  • Examine if your fear stems from a fear of not belonging, a fear of not being right, or a fear of losing control.
  • Identify it.
  • Name it.
  • Think about something you love that can help you overcome that fear.

Your values are a great place to start (for a e-workbook on uncovering your values visit our Etsy store). When we live into our passions, we generate courage over those fears. Give it a try.

Test the formula. And then let us know how it worked for you!
