Fear is the force that deters acts of courage.
Yet, there is an opposing force that keeps pushing you forward: Your values. What matters to you might be external—like a vision that inspires you or a cause that is meaningful to you, aka your purpose. Or it might be internal—a desire to stay true to your convictions, or simply do the right thing, aka your values. Finding the courage to stand up for what you value is especially consequential in the organizations and communities you belong to.
How does it work?
Use the downloadable activity as a tool to both clarify your values (to yourself) and advocate for (to your community, company or organization) what you stand for. The activity is written to be used in the classroom, but it can be done with any group or on one’s own.
