A lot has been said in the news the past few days about courage.
We may agree or disagree with what is being said.
This discussion has been broadcast around the world, many times. But it's not the loud, boisterous or promoted courage that I want to talk about. It's the quiet courage, the quiet acts we do every day that I want to talk about.
It is the quiet acts of courage that define our mundane, 9-5 workdays.
I define courage as doing what is right when no one else is looking. It's courageous to speak the truth when no one wants to hear it. It's courageous to sell your client what they need instead of selling them what will help you make your budget. It's courageous to admit a mistake. It's courageous to help someone who no one else wants to help.
These type of courageous acts will not be screamed from the roofs or shouted from the mountains but they will be shared in quiet conversations with colleagues, management and potential clients.
