Uncommon Courage
It is time for that which is uncommon to become common
Uncommon Courage is more than a book; it’s an invitation to join an inclusive community that wants to better understand humanity’s challenges—both global and personal—in order to take courageous action and create a better world for everyone. If COVID has given us the time and space to reflect, Uncommon Courage gives us the nudge we need to create lasting change.
