720: The Way Towards a Bit More Bravery, with Margie Warrell

Margie Warrell: The Courage Gap

Margie Warrell is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, leadership coach, and Forbes columnist. With twenty-five years of experience living and working around the world, she has dedicated her life to helping others overcome fear and unlock their potential. She is the author of The Courage Gap: 5 Steps to Braver Action*.

Whether it’s painting a vision of the future or giving feedback on something that didn’t work yesterday, courage is a necessity for leaders. In this episode, Margie and I highlight the way towards just a bit more of it.

Key Points
  • Leaders may rise in the ranks because of what they do, but cap themselves because of who they are.
  • The smarter we are, the more our fears work in the background.
  • Beware discounting the future. Fear causes us to value the future less than the present.
  • Reel in fearcasting worst-case scenarios. These can prevent us from seeing the benefits of action.
  • Stop rationalizing inaction and excess caution. An excuse is always there to prevent you from doing what’s right and true.
  • Avoid betraying yourself to secure status with others.
