Courage is the ability and willingness to act in spite of fear. Many of us avoid talking about bias, racism, and white privilege because we are afraid. We are afraid of not knowing what to say; afraid of being judged, or afraid of the change these conversations may produce. To have a courageous conversation about race is to engage in necessary dialogue despite fear.

Authentic conversations are the first step toward personal awakening and creating an environment where meaningful change can occur. Fear and anger are common examples of emotional feedback that can arise when faced with unfamiliar or uncomfortable topics. Finding the courage to acknowledge those emotions is the first step. Engaging in open, constructive dialogue with people who may not share your views nor your life experiences is the way forward.

• How to prepare for a courageous conversation?

• What are the practical tips for conducting a courageous conversation?

• How to address conflict if it arises during the courageous conversation?

How to great in the new world.

There are three business languages managers need to understand in order to make the best decisions. These languages are accounting, finance, and economics. Leaders use these languages to see how their company has performed in the past (accounting), plan how the company should move forward (finance), and predict how outside influences will affect their plan (economics). The benefits of having a working knowledge of these three languages include being able to understand and communicate with others in he organization about financial issues, making decisions that align with overall corporate goals and strengthening your value to the company.

• Make better business decisions based on accounting 

• Use historical financial performance data to plan for the future 

• Educate yourself to make better financial, accounting, and economic decisions
