Choosing Courage: The Everyday Guide for Being Brave at Work

Speaker Jim Detert

Have you ever wanted to disagree with your boss in a meeting? Speak up about something that doesn’t seem right? Make a tough decision that you know will be unpopular?

We all have opportunities to be courageous at work.

But since courage requires risk—to our reputations, our social standing, and, in some cases, our jobs—we often fail to act, which leaves us feeling powerless and regretful for not doing what we know is right.

There’s a better way to work and live.

Courage isn’t a character trait that only a few possess. It’s a virtue developed through practice.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • Research-based tactics to help you make better use of your courageous instincts at work.
  • How to develop courage through practice.
  • How to incoporate courage into your everyday life.
  • Stories of ordinary people who’ve acted courageously to make a greater impact.
