My name is Taru. I’m a believer in big dreams and high heels. I'm an adventure enthusiast in love with  surfing and motorbikes. And sunshine and champagne!

 

I’m passionate about unlocking the secrets of courage.

 

This blog is about my journey to crack the courage code. It’s about conquering the small scary everyday things that keep us from making the changes we want for ourselves. It’s also a story about the big terrifying things that only the bravest ones of us will face. And it’s about all the fun and adventures that fit in between!

 

In my previous life in corporate world my job was to boost the innovation culture in a big company through creating new ways of working. One of my favourite experiments was the creation of a courage platform which helped individuals to reach beyond their limits and make brave changes in their work and working culture of the whole company. That experiment demonstrated how much can be achieved with increased courage. And I was blown away!

 

Ever since I’ve wanted to understand how courage works. I’m fascinated by the power of small acts of courage that can make a huge change in the individuals and in the people around them. How an example of a courageous deed can inspire others to push their limits. How personal the experience of fear and courage is. And yet how contagious is the halo effect of courage if we let it touch and effect us.

MY STORY

Because courage is contagious

 

 

The experiences of the courage platform also made me re-think my life choices. Even though I didn't really know what I wanted to do next, I knew that I wanted to renew my life totally. It meant jumping out of the corporate rat race and a 12 year marriage. Leaving everything and starting from the scratch.

 

As I was going through the process of re-imagining my future I started to notice that I was not alone. So many people around me were struggling with the desire to change but there was something holding them back. A fear of the unknown, a fear of failure, a fear of letting go of the existing in order to achieve something new. It's not difficult to find advice on how to change your life but there's surprisingly little information on how to overcome the fears which are holding us back. How to find the courage to change and not to waste your life on stand still.

 

As I have witnessed the power of a courage boost in an organisation, I believe there are concrete ways to super charge your courage reserves in your personal life as well. But how to find those magic buttons and how to spread the halo effect of courage is yet a mystery to me. This blog is about the journey to find the answers and unlock the secrets of courage.

 

My ambition is to learn to understand how courage really works. And to have a great adventure on the side!!
