When I look through the various videos that I have collected and used in various leadership and team development programs, I notice that the strong theme of courage comes through. Also noticeable is that courage comes in all shapes and sizes. Some of these videos follow; I hope you enjoy viewing and potentially, using these with your teams too, to generate discussion about courage and many more aspects of leadership:

Although a dog lover – we have two gorgeous Dalmatians – I'm generally not one for "cutesy" animal images. However, the image below is one that embodies various aspects of courage for me, including: raising awareness of courage in self and others; there may be fear to act, but with it, willingness too; the subjectivity of courage; broadening perspectives on courage. This image sits on my desk and galvanises me in times that I need to be courageous. Thank you to Judy Hilton for sharing this image with me.
Finally, I cannot think of courage without thinking of my mum; she is one of the most courageous women I know. I am grateful for where her courage has led us as a family and me as an individual. Thank you mum.
As insium continues on our journey, exploring and sharing what it means to lead with courage, developing leaders to be courageous, it would be great to hear your stories of courage and about who and what inspires your courage. Please be in touch.
