Courage to face hard times

Hard times hit us hard - over and over again. There are days of conflict and crises – in the world and at home. Each incident can trigger past suffering, adversity or challenge. Over time past fears can take root and may grow if left unchecked. The experience of fear may cause suffering. Repetitive fear, discomfort, or stress impacts us. Powerlessness can turn into passivity over time. It limits our choices and makes way for misery. Confronting past fear helps us to face hard times and deal with the likelihood of future breakdown. Courage shows up in the moment we choose it amid our discomfort and challenge. This session offers an intentional pause to discover what we fear, and how we show up (with fear in hand) in hard times.

Consider stepping into the future grounded in courage to face tough choices and situations. Sooner or later we all get knocked down, stood up, set back. But recognising that our fear is a gateway to courage can propel us to stand tall. An increasing sense of care and attention to how we are being, enables our courage to show up in hard times.

“I don’t know” can stop us in mid-cortisol attack. It can constrain us to more of what we already know. And unless we assume the risk, face the consequences and dare to deal with what feels hard right now, ground-hog day re-occurrences of fear cover up what exists beyond ‘I don’t know’.

This session offers an intentional pause to consider and discover your courage in hard times. You will be listened to generously. You will be understood. There is no space in this session for morality or judgement.

This conversation is for you if you are ready to:

Shed light on what fears are holding you back
Meet anger or attack with empowerment and purpose
Reach into risk with assertiveness, confidence and contribution
Occupy the interval between reaction and response.

And if:

you are a coach, facilitator, changemaker, leader or activist.

You will experience a 1.5-hour community in which to practice courage, online. Questions, self-reflection and connection ignite our shared stories into collective courage. You will leave with a renewed capacity to be courageous.

This is not therapy, a seminar, or a problem-solving session. This is an inquiry into how courageously we can face what matters for Human Beings. It takes courage simply to turn up, being yourself.
