Just Courage

When is someone really brave? What does courage mean to you and what does it actually provide? Can you develop courage or is it just in your genes?
Courage comes in many forms. It gets you moving, for yourself or for someone else. In this podcast, I take you on a personal quest for what courage really is. Emmelie Zipson talks to a special mix of guests-famous and unknown-and together they explore the many faces of courage: from big, heroic deeds to those small, everyday moments of perseverance.

Laila Frederiks

Laila Frederiks - Assaldan is an entrepreneur and founder of Op Weg Naar Een Baan, a recruitment agency that takes a modern approach to applying for jobs. With a background in commercial positions and a keen eye for opportunities, she has a strong drive to help people and companies grow.

Laila lives in Apeldoorn with her husband and little son (7). Besides her entrepreneurship, she has also overcome personal challenges: she has been living with Multiple sclerosis for 10 years, and a year and a half ago she was diagnosed with cancer. Despite deep lows, Laila remains optimistic and determined to stay positive. Her story is a powerful testament to resilience and courage.

When is someone truly courageous? What does courage mean and what does it actually deliver? And can you learn to be brave or is it in your genes? Podcast host and theatre maker Emmelie Zipson presents this new podcast live at Wonders of Work.
