Today's quote comes to us from educator, author, and self-help guru, Stephen Covey. "Moral authority comes from following universal and timeless principles like honesty, integrity, treating people with respect." There are a couple of key messages in this quote that I unpack in the episode. If you are a coach, teacher, parent, leader of young people, you are looked at as an authority figure.

The reason I am doing two quotes here is that they are so closely related in concept and meaning that I thought I should just include them both and discuss them both at the same time.The first one comes from the English author, Samuel Johnson. "Courage is reckoned the greatest of all virtues; because, unless a man has that virtue, he has no security for preserving any other."The second quote is from another Englishman, Sir Winston Churchill.

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear." So often we think people who are courageous are "fearless." While some of them may be fearless, it is not fearlessness that makes one courageous. Most people who are courageous also have fears about what they are needing to show courage towards. It's just that they resist and then master that fear in order to do...2020-06-1909 minGreat Quotes for Coaches PodcastEp. 12 - Courage #4 - Confucius - Do What Is RightToday we move into the 4th episode in our short series on "Courage."

I often feel he is hitting me upside the head with this one, reminding me that I need to behave this way more in my life. "To see what is right and not to do it, is a lack of courage." And while I try to live by this concept as much as...2020-06-1509 minGreat Quotes for Coaches PodcastEp. 11 - Courage #3 - Jackson - MajorityToday is the third episode in a short series we are doing on "Courage."

This quote comes to us from an author that many of us probably have not heard of - Mary Anne Radmacher. She is not a household name like Dickens or Twain, but she is a very popular author in her own genre, and she has had her share of quotes. This quote of hers is one I have always loved: "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow."2020-06-0810 minGreat Quotes for Coaches PodcastEp. 9 - Courage #1 - Gide - Discover New OceansToday's podcast kicks off a mini-series of podcasts dealing with the theme of Courage.

Most people don't realize that that title came from the following line in the poem: "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry."
