B - Boldness

R - Resilience

A - authenticity - own who you are and operate your authority

V - Victory / Virtue - always operating in integrity

E - Empower people in their purpose PRACTICAL WAYS TO GO BRAVE

• Always learning! When you stop learning, you stop growing. Be willing to unlearn things that have been rooted as fact or truth.
• Rest! Not just sleep, putting phone down, taking walks outside, etc…
• Recognize what we have and being grateful for that… not just what we can leverage like credentials, but who do we have.
• Rest and resilience - sitting in the moments of adversity and saying what was my responsibility and what wasn’t. We take it all in and try to move forward with all the baggage, but it does nothing for us.
• We can only control ourselves and influence others.
• Give Courageously - our giving can be from the cup and not from the overflow. Typically when we give, we reduce the amount of what we’re giving. Take a step away from life, as much as you can, need to identify it, what gives you reprieve. Only from a place of overflow, can we give abundantly. We don’t do much work, it just naturally comes from the overflow.
