Be More Pirate workshop challenge

There’s never a man looked me between the eyes and seen a good day afterward.

—Long John Silver

We’ve covered a lot in this chapter, so we’re going to keep the reflection simple. If you can avoid the urge to skip it, it’s often held up as one of the most valuable exercises in all the Be More Pirate workshops we’ve run.

The question is, When it comes to power, how will you be more pirate? How will you share it out? How will you protect it and how will you protect yourself from it? What principles do you respect so much you’d take a risk for them? What values do you treasure so much that you’d be willing to suffer to protect them? And what ideals do you hold so dear that you’d be willing to lose something you love to defend them?

You can use the space provided to note down your answer to this question:

What principles, values, or ideals are you willing to fight for?

When I say fight, I mean actually fight. That doesn’t have to be physical; it could be a fight with the system, a professional conflict, a falling-out with a friend, or a row with a stranger. It could be a war of words, it could be a battle of wills, or it could be lobbying, arguing, demonstrating, or debating.

But whatever it is, it’s a real fight, one where you’re putting your neck on the line, you could get hurt, you’ve got something to lose. It could cost you your job, end a relationship, damage your reputation, or worse.

This one isn’t easy; if you get to five, you’ll have more than most people.
