Aflevering #58 | Christoper O.H. Williams | "Living Without Regret!"

#58 Living without regret! A deep dive with Christopher O.H. Williams, NACD.DC, a writer of C.O.U.R.A.G.E: 7 Choices for Living a Life Without Regret, thinker and former global corporate leader who has spent much of his life wrestling with one quiet but persistent question:  What does it really take to live without regret? Born in Sierra Leone and educated in the United States, Christopher built an impressive international career. Yet somewhere along the way, success stopped feeling like alignment. In 2018, that inner tension became impossible to ignore. What followed was a deep personal reckoning that led him to step away from corporate life and write his book Courage, not as theory, but as lived inquiry. His journey moves through identity, power, silence and responsibility, and always returns to agency.  Deep dive talking points: ???? Courage versus fear: why knowing is not the same as acting; ???? Regret: the quiet cost of postponing what matters; ???? Agency and identity: reclaiming ownership of your life; ???? Leadership and integrity: doing well without losing yourself; ???? Joy and resilience: why courage needs lightness to last; Nuggets of empowerment: ???? Courage needs something meaningful to work for; ???? Silence often becomes regret; ???? Joy reduces risk more than we realise; Christopher’s empowering quote: ???? “I wish I’d had the courage to live the life I wanted, not the life expected of me” Books mentioned: ??
