One of my favorite phrases. Confidence v. Courage is an interesting distinction to explore. I definitely use the word courage in a looser sense than the traditional idea of heroic action...or maybe am just broadening the idea of heroic action :-) Will have to check out your book, Michelle Hi Larry,

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 21:29:56 +0000 http://cultivatecourage.wordpress.com/?p=99#comment-17 I completely agree with the distinctions you made between courage and confidence. Many times we ascribe courage to an act that does not require courage. One way to test if courage is required is the presence of two coditions: Courage is required: 1. if a person has to confront some fear. 2. if there is some cost to the person acting. I go into more details as well as tease out what I call the Five Cornerstones of Courage in my leadership book, READY,BEGIN! PRACTICAL STRATEGIES FOR CULTIVATING COURAGE.

We are underway and the group of parents participating in this 6 month program are excited about what they'll be learning and applying. I am also offering a free tele-seminar series over the next 6 months. This starts Tuesday Feb.10 and goes through the end of July. So far there are 8 parenting experts lined up with a variety of topics. Check out: http://tinyurl.com/977f46 Thanks Michelle for this great post.
