Listen "113 - Bravery or Boldness"
Episode Synopsis
In today's episode, Cindy Esliger examines the differences between boldness and bravery. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, they are different and understanding the distinction between them is important for navigating workplace culture. Cindy defines each and offers insight on how to foster what is needed for career success. Boldness and bravery appear the same at a surface glance. However, as Cindy explains, boldness pushes boundaries and often leads to the pursuit of visionary ideas. However, it can also mask vulnerabilities and is more reactive than reflective. Whereas bravery is marked by a deep engagement with reality, including acknowledgement of fears and limitations. It involves risk assessment and the willingness to make hard choices. How do the differences between boldness and bravery play out in a workplace setting? That’s what Cindy explores, unpacking how the use of each results in a different impact on self and others. Learning to identify boldness in others allows us to understand when the limitations of boldness arise and gives us insight into how to foster bravery instead when needed. Cindy offers guidance and practical advice on five ways to use both boldness and bravery to our advantage at work.
