Defining Moments of Courage: Passing the torch to the Current Generation of Emerging Authors

Defining Moments of Courage is a collection of inspirational stories from an emerging talent of entrepreneurs to parents to high corporate executives who share what steps they took to keep hope in their success alive. There is a world of possibilities available to you and these stories of courage provide solutions you may need on your journey.

“Defining Moments of Courage proves that with slight edge steps you can create any life you want—but not all at once. You must understand that it is the little steps, compounded over time, that do make a difference. And you must learn that the things you do every single day—the things that don’t look dramatic or don’t look like they matter—do matter. Ultimately, one courageous step forward can make ALL the difference.”
Jeff Olson Author of The Slight Edge

“Defining Moments of Courage walks you through many of the most important lessons in life. You can either try to figure out these life lessons on your own or you can dive into this book, awaken your courage and start living your ultimate life today. Just remember, its your choice to create your ultimate life and Defining Moments of Courage gives you the proven steps to take on your journey.”
Jim Bunch Founder of The Ultimate Game of Life

“The Defining Moments shared in this book each share an insight as how an individual can inspire another to move forward to achieve a result and trust in the process of becoming a leader in their respective community. Having an understanding of how key insights, feelings and values motivate behavior has impacted how our TRIBE at WD-40 Company has evolved on our own path to success. At WD-40 Company we are encouraged daily to embrace learning moments that take us one step forward in the sandbox to see what Defining Moments we can create.”
Garry Ridge President and CEO, WD-40 Company
