Voice of the People
Courageous Attributes

In moments of challenge, the Leader inspires and guides, embodying a vision for a better world. The Leader is marked by clarity, resilience, and the ability to unite others toward a shared purpose.

What's in the Shadow?

When the shadow is engaged, the Leader may become authoritarian, placing their vision above the needs of others, or burn out from carrying the weight of responsibility alone.

Example

Reflection

“Faith is the sister of courage, because you need a lot of spiritual support to weather these storms. I'm very proud to say that after all we've been through as indigenous peoples, we still have a prayer on our lips. We still have love in our hearts. We still feed everyone who comes to our table. I love that about us. I think courage is not just to survive the storm, but to love in the face of the storm and to continue to keep your heart intact. That is what really takes courage." – Lyla June
