April 21: UMB Reads! Spring Discussion 2026
April 01, 2026
Join the UMB Reads! community at noon April 21 for our hybrid discussion of "The Courage Gap: 5 Steps to Braver Action" by Margie Warrell, PhD.
Participants are encouraged to have read the book, but all are welcome!
Warrell invites readers to consider how fear can limit our actions and how intentionally choosing courage can help us speak up, step forward, and take meaningful action even when it feels uncomfortable.
As part of our current focus on the core value set of Equity and Justice, this discussion will offer space to consider how braver action strengthens belonging, accountability, and shared responsibility within our UMB community. Whether you are joining to share insights, ask questions, or simply listen and learn alongside colleagues, all are welcome.
Come ready to reflect, connect, and consider how small acts of courage can create meaningful change in our work and community.
