Five Aspects of Courage
Faint-Heartedness ← Courage → Overboldness
Many people find themselves in relationships with capable, confident, and decisive individuals. While these qualities can be attractive and valuable, they can also create an unintended imbalance. Over time, one partner's confidence may begin to overshadow the other's voice. Ideas go unspoken. Intuition is ignored. Needs remain unexpressed. Decisions become one-sided. The problem with being disempowered, is that all parties are exposed to consequence.
This course explores the hidden relationship between over-boldness and faint-heartedness and helps people claim the courage necessary to participate fully in their own lives and adventure relationships. To find the needed balance in the partnership
Drawing from Aristotle's concept of courage, contemporary courage research, relationship psychology, and human development theory, participants learn how to restore their capacity to speak, act, and lead from a mindset of authentic courage.

The Human Journey Card deck is a stand-alone tool and a critical part of deeper explorations we offer at Archetypal called Mindset Awareness for Risk Decision Making. Most situations we find ourselves have potential for undesired consequence. The Card Deck helps us thrive and stay alive by fostering awareness of our limiting behaviours and promoting the kind of balances behaviours that keep us grounded and making our best choices.
Humans, who work and play in all varieties of High Potential Consequence situations (including our relationships) are exposed to the same challenge. Being out of balance. In our western culture, we tend to respond to challenges habitually. The opportunity we have is to recognize all of the skill sets we can use to manage potentially consequential situations and to find the balance among them.
In the Card Deck. There are eight coloured title cards that present our initial guide to the balancing the process of: Acceptance, Courage (Heart based responses), Connection, Self-Awareness, Grace, Truth, Intuition and Peace. Operating in this space is our goal. Of course, the big awareness is that all of these desirable responses to challenges have a an out of balance form; (Denial & Acquiescence), (Faint-Heartedness & Over-boldness), (Isolation & Entanglement), (Insignificance & Self-Absorbed), (Hubris & Martyrdom), (Deception & Disruptive Truth) , (Over-Intellect & Reflexivity) and (Chaos & Over-Order). Recognizing our being out of balance, is where the pithy work comes in.
Each title card has a number of concepts that provide a deeper resolution for the concept. These cards have the potential of helping us deepen our understanding of ourselves within the context of the situation.
This course explores the mindset of Grace—the ability to pursue bold goals while remaining grounded in humility, being accountable to others, and responsive to changing conditions.
Participants learn how high performers unknowingly drift toward either Hubris or Over-Giving, and how the middle path creates better decisions, stronger teams, and more sustainable success.
Course Topics:
The Hidden Hazard of Strength
When Confidence Stops Listening
The Cost of Hubris
Over-Giving: The Other Extreme
The Grace Formula
Becoming the Leader Others Trust
Our ability to make sound decisions begins with how we meet reality. Accepting reality as it is is key for making sound decisions about ourselves, others, and the situation. It is neither a denial of reality (which can often happen), or passive resignation or yielding. It is the willingness to embody circumstances and processes as important, without distortion, while nurturing our capacity to respond intentionally.
