*Author and speaker Andrew D. Kaufman shares an unexpected story that taught him how the courage to risk on another person can strengthen trust, inspire commitment, and transform the way we connect and live.*
The story is that of Anna Dostoyevskaya, the young wife and creative partner of the great novelist Fyodor Dostoyevskyโwhose quiet courage helped save both her husband and his legacy.
In this clip inspired by his keynote, The Courage to Stay Human, Kaufman explores what Annaโs bold choice in a moment of crisis reveals about trust and commitment. When others might have turned away, Anna chose to take a risk on someone.
These insights are shaped by Kaufmanโs PEN-finalist, Hollywood-adapted book ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ข๐๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐: ๐ผ ๐๐ง๐ช๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐ฎ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ค๐ซ๐, ๐๐๐จ๐ , ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ค๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ฎ, and his 15 years teaching in jail classrooms. They illuminate why the courage to invest in othersโdespite uncertaintyโremains essential for strong relationships and lasting collaborations.
