Abstract/Description

Have you ever felt like you needed to defend your leadership principles or approach? Or where the momentum and status quo seems to be counter to your goals? You would not be alone. Once during a tense re-organization discussion, I was warned that “We have real leaders here. Not ones that focus on the fluffy stuff you do. We don’t have time for all of that.” Although I was tempted to respond inappropriately, I understood that evolving the world of leadership required courage. Did I have the courage to respond appropriately? Yet, no one could tell me “just be courageous”, I had to learn tricks to build my courage. Join me in this session, to consider and adapt several tips for better responses and self-care that help you build and embrace your courage.
