“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”― Winston S. Churchill When we look at our world of work and begin to assess our path through it, we can see that our journey is simply a sequential set of steps. These steps stack onto each other and scale into a staircase that takes us higher into new levels of life and deeper into knowledge of ourselves, our world and our work. Once we continue stepping (take action forward), it is inevitable that we will one day reach the level we aspire to; however the very action of taking these steps can be very difficult. This difficulty may be due to gatekeepers as shared in Episode 2 or may be due to darkness as discussed in Episode 3. Another deterring element to our progression is the lack of courage to take the necessary next steps. Courage is crucial for many of our choices in our professional and personal lives but as much as we need it, we are not always able to see it. We know courage and why we need it but do we know where it is? Inspired by the issue of 'Finding the courage to share deeper parts of yourself', this episode will take you on journey through two of the author's experiences; when he had to find the courage to share deeper parts of himself, where he found that courage and how he continues to find the courage because of what he learnt in the experiences.
