About
Welcome to Courage of Conviction.
This blog is dedicated to the idea and ideal of courage. Courage takes on many forms. The form that comes to my mind is the courage that is represented by an island standing alone in the sea.
Courage has always been a subject that fascinates me. I love the idea of courage and this blog will highlight those moments of courage in politics, business, leadership and other areas of life.
Courage isn’t just about standing up and speaking your mind in a crowded room when you know that everyone will disagree with you. It is also those times that require silence when speaking would be easier.
While this blog’s theme is courage, I will also discuss and explore the ideas of self-discovery and development. I believe these concepts are closely aligned with courage. It takes courage to question yourself and your beliefs. It takes courage to grow towards your potential. It takes courage to ask the questions and find the answers the cut to core of what life is all about.
So how will we focus on courage? Great question. I’ll highlight and examine courage through some of the following topics:
- Politics and political strategy
- Campaigning - especially campaigning against incumbents
- Networking
- Leadership
- Communication
- Running
- Quotes on Courage
- Coaching
- EADD - a term I coined which stands for Entrepreneurial Attention Deficit Disorder
