About the speaker: Courage. Bravery. Guts. Nerve. Valor. Daring. Audacity. Suzanne Benton speaks of the times she’s had it and why, how she’s called upon it, and what she thinks about it. She shares her thoughts on the idea that we all share the capacity for courage, and explores how we buoy each other.
