Turn Fear into Courage

Fear wears many disguises. It shows up as perfectionism, avoidance, overthinking, disengagement, people pleasing and imposter syndrome. Many of us see our fear as a weakness. But fear isn’t trying to sabotage us. It’s trying to protect us. This empowering workshop teaches participants how to recognise fear not as a flaw, but as a fuel we can use to drive courageous action. Using stories, science and practical tools this talk shows you how to build courage muscles by taking small steps outside your comfort zone so you can achieve even your most audacious goals. Based on Ruth’s powerful book Turn Fear Into Courage, this program helps people of all ages develop empowering habits that create lasting confidence.
