Ever fear unknowns? When you do anything there’s unknowns, whether you’re heading into a job interview, joining or course or even trying to figure out your direction. Facing unknowns can be scary, paralysing and overwhelming. It’s far easier to stay in your comfort zones rather than face fears. This is something I did a lot, I stayed where I felt safer, but with hindsight I know this held me back in my career, and I don’t want this for you.
In this episode I’m sharing how you can manage fear of the unknown so that you can move forward in your career and grow.
I talk about…
-Why unknowns are a major part of growth
-Why fear is your friend not your enemy
-3 steps you can take to manage the fear
