Courage
Doing what is right despite personal risk
Courage strengthens a workplace by empowering people to do what is right even when it’s uncomfortable.
When we choose what is right even when it’s uncomfortable, we strengthen trust and integrity at home. Courage teaches everyone that doing the right thing matters.
Essay
Leave your Comfort Zone
by Jill Tomey
What would it take for you to leave your comfort zone at work and apply for that position or ask to be included on a project team? More confidence? More data? More experience? Less risk? Write out the pros and cons and weigh the alternatives. Think about the worst case of failure and identify what you fear most about that failure. What can you do to mitigate that one aspect that would make taking that risk less daunting? Think, too, about the best outcome and how that would feel. You don’t have to wait until you feel fearless to act. Courage is acting in the face of fear and doing the right thing anyway.
What’s the next right thing for you?
