Stepping up to address difficult issues, saying what needs to be said
Courage involves being comfortable with the conflict that is inherent to being a champion of an idea or course of action. To say what needs to be said at the right time, to the right person, in the right manner to effect change. Many times it’s not positive. Courage involves letting people know where you stand, having difficult conversations, and even standing alone. Being courageous requires your brain to balance fight or flight instincts with logical analysis. It involves weighing the drawbacks of addressing tough issues. Having courage does not mean you are not afraid. Courage means you overcome the fear to do what is right.
