Whenever we take a chance and enter unfamiliar territory or put ourselves into the world in a new way, we experience fear. Very often this fear keeps us from moving ahead with our lives. The trick is to feel the fear and do it anyway. This motivational presentation explores the barriers that get in the way, and how to develop techniques for taking control. We will explore developing a confidence anchor to control fear. Fear of making decisions and fear of failure are two topics that will be covered. We will practice doing some fear-setting, an extension of goal-setting. Don't be afraid to dive in and discover how to hold your fears, and manage your fears.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Utilize the confidence-anchor technique for handling fear
- Understand the levels of fear and how to hold fear
- The difference between FOMO and JOMO
- Use the fear-setting methodology
