Brave Leadership: From the Emotion of Courage to the Identity of Bravery - Series Hub
From Courage to Character: How THX Frameworks Shape Leaders Who Transform the Human Experience
Welcome
This is not a series about being fearless.
It’s about being real.
It’s about choosing integrity in moments that don’t reward it.
About showing up for others without abandoning yourself.
About leading in a way that protects humanity—not performance alone.
Brave leadership isn’t a style. It’s an identity.
And it’s built one courageous choice, one micro-moment, at a time.
What This Series Covers
Using the THX Frameworks—the 12 Utilities, PERMAH, the Admiration Equation, Prospect Theory, and Micro-Moments—this series explores what brave leadership really looks and feels like.
Each post unpacks a different layer of the journey from momentary courage to embodied bravery.
