For several years, I sent out a blog to readers a few times a week. These posts gave pointers about how to practice, shared relevant stories, and provided a way for people to connect with my coaching approach. In 2022, I wrote my book, Before You Say Anything, which brought many of these ideas together in one place. The blog posts have continued to resonate with clients and readers, and they're useful as a quick reminder, so I'm including them here!
When we start to make decisions based on what fear is telling us, there’s good chance we’re not being rational.
Fear has a way of telescoping the world and all the options out there into only the thing you’re afraid of, so the decision you make is in response to just that one factor. While that may quiet the Fear Voice temporarily, it may not even be the best way to handle whatever is frightening.
Zoom out. Get another opinion. Don’t panic. Look at more options.
We’re doing another Facebook Live on Friday, March 27, at noon Eastern. Join us at the Ignite CSP Facebook page to share how you’re coping with the Fear Voice, saying Yes And, and generally managing through this week. And register here for this week’s Virtual Meetings That Work interactive workshop!
