Let’s Cause Some Transformation Through Courage
Earlier this month, I led a Courageous Leadership for Women workshop at the Training 2015 Conference in Atlanta. I spoke with a great group of around 45 women. And I forgot to take any pictures, sorry!
There was real energy and curiosity in the room. Interestingly, a number of women would say a variation of, “I don’t know if anyone else has had this experience, but…” It was interesting because 100% of the time one or more women in the room nodded in agreement that they, too, had had that experience.
Now for something I think is true for women and men. Challenges isolate us. We get into a frustrating situation or project, and we often think we’re the only one who has experienced it. We think we’re the only one to have felt insufficient to a problem, dismissed for our effort, or overlooked as a member of the team.
We can let challenges isolate us. We can also let challenges be the adhesive that connects us to our team.
We can take those challenges and points of frustration to lead, trust, and speak with greater courage. The challenge can become an opportunity. Or even a “whopper-tunity” as a former teacher of mine would say.
When we let courage fuel us and drive us to come together to work and learn, we can achieve transformation.
I’ve shared with you a lot about courage on my recent blog posts. Maybe you’re a trainer within an organization and find yourself curious to learn more about how to incorporate Courageous Leadership into your existing training. Or maybe you have your own consulting practice and want to see how Courageous Leadership might compliment your work.
