Courage Beyond Bravery

Watch this 2 minute video to learn how to be courageous in civic situations.

There’s a particular type of courage that’s absolutely essential for anyone in a position of community leadership or who is responsible for gathering consensus among a diverse group of people.  It's the courage to be open-minded - the willingness to say "Tell Me More" and be genuinely interested in what follows, even if you disagree with it.


In my FROM CONFLICT TO CONVERSATION presentation, I challenge community leaders to bring that specific type of courage to their community interactions.
