    About this ebook

    There comes a time for every leader when they need to step up and navigate challenging situations. But what many people don’t realize is that these challenging times are precisely when your skills will grow. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily make it easier — we need to learn to leverage the power of difficult situations to help us become more courageous, successful leaders.

    In Courage and Crucibles: Leadership in Challenging Times, an audio course from Scribd Coach, leadership coach, speaker, and author Pierre Quinn explains how to do just that. In the course, Quinn explains how to leverage the power of the “crucible,” or challenging period; what opportunities and insights our crucibles reveal to us; and practical steps you can take to become a more courageous leader. He also shares exercises along the way to help you put what you’ve learned into practice.

    It takes courage to lead others through challenging times. Quinn’s insights will help you find that courage.

      Introduction

      Hello‌ ‌everyone!‌ ‌I’m‌ ‌‌Pierre Quinn,‌ ‌and‌ ‌this‌ ‌is‌ ‌Courage and Crucibles: Leadership in Challenging Times‌ ‌a ‌course‌ ‌from‌ ‌Scribd‌.‌ ‌Thank‌ ‌you‌ ‌for‌ ‌joining‌ ‌me.‌ ‌Let’s not waste any time.

      In this course, I want to share with you some incredible tools to help you grow into a successful, courageous leader — even in times that are unpredictable and challenging.

      Sooner or later, you’ll have to step up and navigate some challenging situations as a leader. What many people struggle to realize is that that’s exactly when your skills will grow. Leadership doesn’t grow in the highlights or from the confetti that falls after you win the championship trophy. It grows in the difficult moments — sometimes when we’re forced to push through some of our lowest moments..

      Many of us have experienced times like these, right? And we all know it can be easy to feel defeated, to feel disappointed, or to give up. But, if we make the choice to reframe the situation to look for the opportunities and the lessons these experiences can offer us, we can leverage the power of these difficult moments to help us become more courageous and successful leaders.

      This course is designed to teach you exactly how you can
