I commit a whole chapter to discovering your natural Courage Persona in my book, Learning to Roar. I also provide a resource chapter dedicated to helping you cultivate that persona. Discovering what attribute of courage we possess naturally and how to develop ourselves in that area; is key to our personal growth. I’ve found it also helpful to know areas where I struggle to be courageous the most. Working with both our strengths and weaknesses is how we learn to tend our gardens well.

Courage in Grief
In a year marked by considerable loss, we all need embrace grief with courage.

Risk.Fear.Pain. These are just a few of the discomforts we feel when saying hard things. Will the recipient want to shoot the messenger? Will they handle us with tenderness and compassion?
