Show Notes

You can reclaim your courage, all you need is a map.

Courage shows up in places of pain, transition, challenge,  and uncertainty! And while women are not socialized to be courageous, we are born into spaces that demand courage and leadership. 

Did you know that boys keep a steady level of courage as they age, but girls don't? Girls lose their courage (at least for a while) and tend to build it back in middle age. 

Let's skip the early loss of courage and follow Dr. Lucy Houghton, Courage Cartographer,  as she teaches us how to reclaim our courage as leaders. 

Listen to find out:

  • Why leaders who model courage create collective psychological safety
  • Why you don't want your healthcare organization to need too much courage
  • How to build courage in yourself!
