(This continues a series of posts sharing insights I gained from this year’s Leadercast event.)

Commander Rorke Denver knows a little bit about bravery. He is a Navy Seal Commander, training and leading special forces operations around the globe. CMDR Rorke is also the New York Times best-selling author of Damn Few: Making the Modern SEAL Warrior.

What I found particularly interesting was his philosophy of attacking the opposite of what you are trying to achieve. If your goal is bravery, you need to tackle your fear.

“Immerse yourself in that which you fear. Face it. That’s where you will find bravery.”

“Lean into your fear and you will discover your boldness.”

What courage would you find if you tackled your greatest fear?
