ABOUT MARGIE
PREFACE
INTRODUCTION
PART I CORE COURAGE: BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION
1 KNOW YOUR WHY: Decide how you will measure success
FOR THE SAKE OF WHAT?
THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS A LIFE OF PURPOSE — WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR LIFE TO STAND FOR?
THE SEARCH FOR MEANING LIES AT THE HEART OF A MEANINGFUL LIFE
HOW DO YOU WANT TO MEASURE YOUR LIFE?
WORK FOR A PURPOSE, NOT FOR APPLAUSE
WHAT GIVES YOU ENERGY AND MAKES YOU COME ALIVE?
WHAT ARE YOUR INNATE STRENGTHS?
WHERE DOES YOUR EXPERTISE MAKE THE GREATEST IMPACT?
WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST DEEPLY AS A MEASURE OF SUCCESS?
YOUR PURPOSE WILL UNFOLD AND EVOLVE AS YOU DO
2 LEAN TOWARDS RISK: The odds are better than you think
BEWARE OF NORMALISING FEAR; NOT ALL RISKS ARE TO BE AVOIDED
TRUST YOURSELF, NOT YOUR FEARS
LEAN TOWARD RISK
YOUR BRAIN IS HARDWIRED TO KEEP YOU SAFE, NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY
LEARN TO MANAGE YOUR FEAR OR IT WILL MANAGE YOU
WHAT YOU THINK YOU FEAR IS WHAT YOU LINK TO FEAR
KNOW WHAT TO FEAR
TAME FEAR-CASTING
REFRAME RISK; TURN FEAR INTO AN ALLY
DON'T DISCOUNT THE COST OF CAUTIOUS INACTION
LIFE REWARDS ACTION, NOT INDECISION
EMBODY THE BRAVE-HEARTED PERSON YOU ASPIRE TO BECOME
3 BE TRUSTWORTHY: Align bold action with right action
NEVER SURRENDER SELF-RESPECT TO SELF-INTEREST
A LACK OF TRUST EXACTS A STEEP HIDDEN TAX
THE FOUR DOMAINS OF TRUST
AUDIT YOUR TRUSTWORTHINESS
Competence
Sincerity
Reliability
Compassion
COMPETENCE
SINCERITY
RELIABILITY
COMPASSION
YOU WILL ONLY GO AS HIGH AS YOUR ROOTS GO DEEP
PART II WORKING COURAGE: UNLOCK DORMANT POTENTIAL
4 SPEAK BRAVELY: Embrace the discomfort of crucial conversations
THE MOST IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS ARE OFTEN THE LEAST COMFORTABLE
DARE TO ASK FOR WHAT YOU REALLY WANT
DARE TO DISAGREE
DARE TO TOOT YOUR HORN AND PUT YOUR VALUE IN THE SPOTLIGHT
DARE TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF
DARE TO GIVE FEEDBACK THAT WILL HELP SOMEONE BETTER THEMSELVES
DARE TO HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE
DARE TO TYPE LESS AND TALK MORE
5 LEARN, UNLEARN AND RELEARN: The thinking that got you here won't get you there
DON'T WALK INTO THE FUTURE BLINDFOLDED
CHANGE BEFORE YOU HAVE TO
TREAT UNCERTAINTY AS THE NORM
CHANGE, EVEN CHANGE FOR THE BETTER, IS RARELY COMFORTABLE
HOW DOES FEAR FUEL YOUR RESISTANCE TO CHANGE?
REFRAME LEARNING FROM A ONE-OFF EVENT TO A LIFELONG JOURNEY
LIFE WILL NEVER STOP TEACHING SO YOU MUST NEVER STOP LEARNING
QUESTION YOUR ANSWERS
VU DÉJÀ: SEE THE OLD WITH NEW EYES
MAKE BIG PLANS, BUT USE A PENCIL

CHANGE IMPOSED IS CHANGE OPPOSED
ACT OR BE ACTED UPON — KEEP UPGRADING YOUR SKILLS
LOOK WHERE THE PUCK IS GOING
6 EMBRACE SETBACKS: Transform adversity to rise to higher ground
