“What Will People Think?” Keynote Speaker Cindy Solomon on Courage, TED Talks & Changing Careers

Courage at work rarely looks like the big, dramatic career move. In this episode, Cindy Solomon shares what she’s learned after 25 years researching, teaching, and building a business around courage. We talk about the fear of being perceived the wrong way, how to build your courage muscle, why we overestimate the risk of making a move, and how small acts of courage can change the direction of your career. She also shares how one unexpected speaking opportunity led to a TED Talk, and how she turned an idea about courage into a global business.
