Shameless Leadership

205: 4 Ways to Practice Courage


Listen Later

Wanting to be courageous and actually being courageous can be two really different things. Courage takes intention. Courage takes guts – and sometimes grit. Courage takes practice.

Today I’m going to share 4 ways you can start practicing courageous acts on a more regular basis, so you can:

Stand up.

Stand out.

Stand when your knees shake. 

Stand when your voice quivers. 

Meet fear in the face. 

Practice scary things. 

Dream big. 

Act big.

I’m going to talk about how to:

  • Meet fear in the face
  • Admit failure
  • Stand up for something
  • Listen more if you’re an extrovert
  • OR

    • Share more if you’re an introvert

    Warning: practicing these 4 things might make you a badass.
