About this FieldTrip
Doing what matters takes more than knowledge and skills. Whether you’re leading a team, launching a side hustle, or sharing a radical new idea with your boss, it takes more than preparedness to act, it takes guts.
This session will help diagnose something that you may be chickening out in your life or work on by breaking courage down into its four components: fear, values, action, change and then use the tools of design help you draw on your courage!
â¨WHAT TO EXPECT
âď¸ Weâll begin with de-constructing what courage means and why it matters.âď¸ Then weâll take a look at some stories of designers and other professionals practicing everyday courage.
âď¸ Next we will identify a clear and present conundrum in your own life: What’s something in your work or life you have spent time being prepared for (by gaining skills or acquiring knowledge) and yet are stuck on?
âď¸ Then, weâll do a series of exercises to clarify the values that power this aspiration for you and identify the fears that stop you from acting.
âď¸ Finally, we’ll take a ‘Tiny Risk’ to help you fight this fear and start drawing on your courage.
âď¸ Bonus: Along the way, you’ll also create a four-frame comic with you as the protagonist, i.e. you will also *literally* draw on courage.

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŚâ in conversation.
Not vibing?
Itâs 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
