Be Fearless: Five Principles for a Life of Breakthroughs and Purpose
When Jean Case, Chairman of the National Geographic Society and CEO of the Case Foundation, set out to investigate the core qualities of great changemakers, past and present, she found five surprising traits they all had in common. They weren’t wealth, privilege, or even genius. It was that all of these exceptional men and women chose to make a “big bet,” take bold risks, learn from their failures, reach beyond their bubbles, and let urgency conquer fear.
Jean Case’s call to action to aspiring changemakers is to Be Fearless as she provides the audience a clear roadmap for individuals and organizations to ignite change at work, in life and in communities. In her talks, Case shares her own transformational life experiences and profiles dozens of ordinary people who ended up doing extraordinary things and whose lives serve as beacons of fearlessness, innovation, and purpose. Weaving together storytelling, practical tips, and inspiration, Case will teach you how to put the five fearless principles to work in your own life or organizations so that you, too, can change the world.
Whether you’re working at a startup, leading a corporate board, finding yourself at a personal crossroads, part of an established organization or looking for inspiration to make an audacious change, Jean Case inspires all to take risks we usually wouldn’t, conquer the fears that get in our way and lead a fulfilling life of clear purpose and maximum impact.
