There are a couple of flaws in our thinking about “those people” who dare to speak up and make a difference in the world. We tend to assume they are fearless, and that is how they do what they do- FALSE! They just come up with a process to determine when it is worth taking RISKS in the service of living their VALUES. We get caught up thinking we have to speak up in order to make a difference, when in truth there are millions of people who quietly make a big difference daily.

When I was little I loved watching cartoons and cuddling with my stuffed animals with one of my childhood friends. I don’t do that anymore. I haven’t for years. Does that make me a bad person? I don’t even see that friend anymore. They developed different interests and values over time and we drifted apart. Does that make me a bad person?

Really the only people who should be able to dupe us are sociopaths, and they only make up about 1-3% of the population. So again- how come we fail to recognize so many lies? Let’s look at a real life example… I was recently invited to be the keynote speaker at an international conference. For those who are not in the co
