Module 1 :Embracing Risk and Uncertainty
Did you know that Einstein loved to sail despite not being able to swim? And it’s said that he used to sail his boat into storms just because he thought it kept him curious and innovative! Now, he might have taken things to the extreme, but he was right – without risk, growth is impossible. In order to succeed, people need to be able to embrace risk and uncertainty, rather than fear it. It’s probably not a good idea to sail headfirst into the next big storm.

Module 2 :Risk and Decision-Making
From snake pits to ancient arks, for some people life is one big adventure, filled with risky escapades and astonishing triumphs. But the captivating thing about action-hero adventures isn’t the winning at the end, so much as the incredible risks taken in getting there. Everyday life might not feel quite as exciting, but pretty much every decision you make on a day-to-day basis involves some level of risk, too. Of course, not all risks are worth taking, but many are.

Snooze, or shower? Bus, or bike? Some decisions are easy! Some, on the other hand, are not. What subject should I major in? Should I buy that dream house? Should I really take the rickety rope bridge over that canyon? When it comes to making bigger decisions, obstacles are everywhere. They’re in your circumstances, the people around you, and, more than anywhere else, they’re in your own mind. The great thing is, how you make decisions is more important than what you decide. When people recognize and overcome these obstacles, they gain confidence, competence, and time.

Module 5 :The Rewards of Taking Risks
Risk. What does that word mean to you? Heroic adventures, filled with dazzling feats of daring, and spectacular rewards? Or maybe hazards, danger, and potential catastrophe? Unless you’re an action-movie hero, it’s probably far less dramatic than that. Every day, you face risks in various forms, and most days you probably navigate them with little drama. So, when it comes to making decisions about our lives, why does taking risks still feel so, well… risky? When people build risk-taking into their life, they stand to gain regardless of outcome. Risk-taking is a reward in itself.
