Courage to Lead Course

Description

Self-assurance and daring are invaluable individual strengths shown to underpin success in both personal and professional pursuits. Those able to face uncertainty confidently and act with courage reap greater rewards across life. However, struggles with inner self-doubt, fear of failure, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome often inhibit people from achieving their highest potential.

This course equips you to build sustainable confidence and courage through exploring the mindsets and behaviors exhibited by the most intrepid and composed top performers. You will learn specific techniques like power posing, affirmations, celebrating small wins, seeking feedback, and visualizing desired outcomes that train your brain over time to operate from a place of empowerment.

Additionally, ongoing practices for expanding comfort zones such as goal setting, calculated risk taking, coping with setbacks resiliently, surrounding yourself with supportive communities, and balancing self-belief with humility offer pathways to turn trepidation into transformation. The goal becomes applying this blend of inner work and bold action to show up consistently as your boldest, most actualized self.

In this course, we will apply techniques to build sustainable self-confidence and courage to achieve personal and professional growth.

To meet this overall course objective, we will:
