Courage doesn’t look the same for everyone

When we talk about courage, we often imagine speaking Speak

up confidently. But in reality, courage is contextual.

For some people, courage might look like: Listen

• Speaking openly in a group Chat

• Challenging a harmful comment

• Sharing a personal lived experience Pause

For others, courage might look like: Step out

• Staying in the room and listening

• Typing a message instead of speaking Reflect

• Asking for an adjustment Ask for support

• Saying “I need a break”

• Choosing not to speak today
All are valid. All count.

All of these are valid acts of courage.
