Ever wonder what real courage at work actually looks like? Spoiler: it’s not all about big speeches or dramatic moments. It’s about those everyday choices, like speaking up in a meeting when it would be easier to stay quiet or sticking to your values even when it feels risky.
Host just had an honest, no-holding-back conversation with Kristen Kavanaugh and Mike Randolph, who both helped lead at Tesla and now run The Agency Initiative. We dug into what fear actually looks like in organizations, why it can spread so fast, and how to break the cycle. They shared some real stories and practical ways to build a people-first culture where everyone feels like they can show up as themselves.
We talked about everything from leading during wild uncertainty to why diversity isn’t just a box to check. Plus, we got into how you can use emotional intelligence and real respect to communicate better, even when things get tough.
If you want your team to make fearless, values-driven decisions, and you want to create a place where everyone feels like they belong, this episode’s going to give you some serious food for thought along with tools you can actually use.
So if you’re ready to rethink what courage at work really means, give this one a listen. Trust us, you won’t want to miss the behind-the-scenes stories and straight talk about building a culture where courage is contagious.
Episode is out Wednesday.
