In an increasingly uncertain, competitive and accelerated world, we are hard-wired 
to avoid risk but the true key to success is courage--the courage to speak up and challenge the status quo, the courage to take risks, the courage to trust in yourself more deeply and seize the opportunities all around us.

So what's stopping you?

Best-selling author, media commentator and master coach, Margie Warrell shares powerful tools and techniques to overcome fear and achieve greater success and fulfillment at work and beyond.
