CONTEXT
All professions require creative courage.Courage to change, to make decisions, to show up, activate your essence and potencial, to be vulnerable and to be responsible. Courage( from the French coeur) is the action guided by the heart- the secret ingredient of human connection. An organizational culture that thrives invites their people to expand their comfort zone in spite of doubt and fear. Courage is connected to change, to creativity and innovation. According to Breneé Brown “Courage is contagious. Every time we brave with our lives, we make the people around us a little braver and our organizations bolder and stronger”
The concept of creative courage is an invitation to experience freedom and the power to create meaningful lives, products and services that are in dialogue with evolution.
“ Creative courage is about helping shape the fabric of the emerging world”
