'Courage is like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it gets.' Here are seven tips for exerting bravery and reclaiming your power:
Below are seven ways women can do just that. The key is not to wait until we feel brave before we dare to start acting as the leader and change-maker we'd like to become.
