Greetings, Summit Leaders.

When you exhibit courage, you affect everyone you meet on your life and career journey.

We remember the leaders who encourage and inspire us through their actions, attitudes, and behaviors.

They are distinctive because of their ability to overcome fear.

Fear is an enemy to every leader and one that every leader will face on the life and career journey.

Here are some lessons learned by observing the responses of great leaders when facing a fearful circumstance.

"Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision." Winston Churchill

"He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life." Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Courage is the power of the mind to overcome fear." Martin Luther King, Jr.

“The first step on the way to victory is to recognize the enemy.” Corrie Ten Boom

Steps to freedom.
1. Recognize the source of fear.
