If there ever was a time for more courage, this is it. Our instinct tells us to freeze in place, but deep inside, we know we were intended for something more. In this uplifting webinar, distinguished Harvard Business School professor and social scientist Ranjay Gulati, best-selling author of How to Be Bold: The Surprising Science of Everyday Courage, will deliver a powerful, science-based playbook that even the most fearful among us can use to become bolder individuals and inspire collective courage in our teams and organizations.
Key takeaways:
- Why courage is key to happiness in life and business.
- The fear equation: Uncertainty + Loss of Control=Fear.
- Our brains are wired for cowardice, particularly when we lack certainty or control.
- Many people take courage to have an innate disposition—you’re either born with it, or you’re not. That’s false.
