The Power of Small Brave Acts: How Change Really Begins
In this episode of the Changeology podcast, I’m talking to Jim Moorhead—crisis advisor, keynote speaker, and author of The Instant Survivor: Right Ways to Respond When Things Go Wrong. Jim has navigated courtrooms, corporate disasters, and boardroom panic rooms, but today he’s here to talk about something far less glamorous and far more necessary: bravery. Specifically, the kind of bravery you can actually practice, in small, ordinary moments.
We unpack how bravery is built—not born—and why that matters when you’re trying to change your life, your leadership, or your sense of self. Bravery isn’t about the grand gesture or the big leap. It’s a discipline. A muscle. A habit you form by saying the honest thing, leaving the room you’re supposed to stay in, or choosing discomfort when it counts. Change requires that kind of practice…and most of us are wildly out of practice.
If you’ve ever waited to feel “ready” before making a move, or told yourself you’re just not brave like those people, this conversation is your permission slip to start smaller, and sooner.
In This Episode:
- Why bravery is not the absence of fear, but action in the face of it
- The cultural myths that keep women stuck in “being nice” instead of being brave
- How small acts of bravery can build your capacity to take bigger leaps
- Why rational decision-making alone won’t get you unstuck—and what self-reflection adds to the process
- Why small acts of bravery are like tiny rebellions against your own status quo
- How to build a culture of courage where everyone gets to take smart, supported risks
- The role of bravery in leadership, and how to create an organizational culture that invites courageous action
- A future-self exercise to help you make bolder decisions now
