A few days ago, I introduced the idea of being “Competently Courageous” (from James Detert’s research on risk-taking). This means that you can learn skills that help you take more frequent and more effective risks on your path to living and leading courageously.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Another tool you can add to your risk-taking toolbox is to develop plans for what you’ll do if things don’t go as you planned, or they go badly.<\/span>
