About Margie
Preface
Introduction
Part I Core Courage Build your foundation
	Chapter 1 Know your why: Decide how you will measure success
		For the sake of what?
		How do you want to measure your life?
		Work for a purpose, not for applause
		Your purpose will unfold and evolve as you do
	Chapter 2 Lean Towards Risk: The odds are better than you think
		Beware of normalising fear; not all risks are to be avoided
		Trust yourself, not your fears
		Lean Toward Risk
		Learn to Manage Your Fear or it Will Manage You
		Know what to fear
		Embody the brave-hearted person you aspire to become
	Chapter 3 Be Trustworthy: Align bold action with right action
		Never surrender self-respect to self-interest
		A lack of trust exacts a steep hidden tax
		The four domains of trust
		You will only go as high as your roots go deep
Part II Working Courage Unlock Dormant Potential
	Chapter 4 Speak Bravely: Embrace the discomfort of crucial conversations
		The Most Important Conversations are Often the Least Comfortable
	Chapter 5 Learn, unlearn and relearn: The thinking that got you here won’t get you there
		Don’t walk into the future blindfolded
		Change, even change for the better, is rarely comfortable
		Reframe learning from a one-off event to a lifelong journey
		Life will never stop teaching so you must never stop learning
		Change imposed is change opposed
	Chapter 6 Embrace Setbacks: Transform adversity to rise to higher ground
		Build your muscles for life
		Beware negative forecasting bias: your tendency to turn forecasts into fear-casts
		Prepare to SOAR: Life doesn’t happen to you, but for you
	Chapter 7 Lead Bravely: Cultivate a culture that fuels courage, not fear
		Real Leadership Extends from the inside out
		Connect authentically
		Inspire possibilities
		Embolden people to take braver action
		Amplify the ripple effect
Part III Take Courage Set yourself up for success!
	Chapter 8 Back Yourself: Don’t wait to feel brave … take the leap!
		Dare to make the ultimate bet … on yourself
		Enlist the support of people who lift you up and Enlarge your thinking
		Prune your tree and never shrink yourself down to make others feel better
		Clear your clutter: a place for everything and everything in its place
		Create Rituals that expand your capacity to thrive under pressure
		Build courage in increments
		Make daily strokes of effort
		Set a vision that compels you to break ranks with comfort
		Make your stand for greatness
		Embrace Your Future as the Once in A Lifetime Adventure It Is
