Understanding the Link Between Fear and Courage with Carrie Jones

Send us Fan MailToday on the podcast, Carrie Jones and I are talking about courage. Awhile back, our team did an activity during a staff meeting. We were each given a seemingly random phrase and asked to come up with a 3 to 5-minute presentation related to our interpretation of what that phrase meant to each of us. Carrie’s phrase lead her to talk about the idea of fear, which ultimately leads her to reflect on courage, which as you may remember from episode 26, is one of our values here at Leadership Vision.Carrie defines courage as “acting in the face of fear.” Fear and courage are not mutually exclusive ideas, but may, as she and I discuss in this podcast, depend on one another. As you’ll hear Carrie say, it’s ultimately the triumph over fear that makes us courageous.You’ll first get to hear what Carrie shared at our staff meeting related to our value of courage. After Carrie’s story, we'll discuss each of the ideas she raises in a more laid back, unedited setting. We'll wrestle with the appropriate role that fear plays in helping us become courageous, but also how fear can paralyze us and prevent us from reaching our potential. Fear is temporary; regret is forever. We’ll also share a prompt at the end to encourage you to live more courageously, so listen now!About The Leadership Vision PodcastThe Leadership Vision Podcast is a weekly show sharing our expertise in the discovery, practice, and implementation of StrengthsFinder.
