Catalyst
Courage embraces both leading and listening.
Insight
Courage is often viewed as an act of boldness or leadership, such as taking charge or making your voice heard. Yet, courage is equally found in listening, pausing, and allowing someone else to shine. It takes strength to step back, relinquish control, and truly hear another person’s perspective.
Courage is about balance. Sometimes it means standing firm; other times it means opening up and being willing to listen, reflect, or learn. Both acts require bravery in different ways. Listening courageously can deepen connections, resolve conflicts, and broaden your understanding of others.
Reflection
The next time you are in a discussion or debate, how can you practice the courage to both stand firm and listen with openness?
