It’s fun to see all the activity around Halloween; it’s practically a national holiday in the U.S.
.
For many people I run across, though, scary things aren’t limited to the October holiday. They are a regular occurrence in the job.
.
Frightful bosses. Difficult conversations. Intimidating situations.
You name it, I’ve seen people struggle with these issues, and then become overwhelmed at the thought of dealing with them.
.
I’ve also found that once we figure out of a plan to approach these situations, it’s a much more constructive way to resolve the situation. It’s just that when you’re in a state of fear, many of your logical planning mechanisms don’t perform as well.
.
For right now, see how you can overcome fears at work (and in life) by using the scientifically proven method I share in this week’s column on TheMuse.com column.
.
I discovered that we’re all born with only 2 fears.
All the other fears – the ones that hold us back in work, relationships, and businesses – all of those are fears we learn.
.
Find out what those 2 fears are, and how to overcome the other ones, in this column in TheMuse.com.
.
.
Then, think about what the fear is that’s holding you back, and what you can do to over come it. (Call me if you need help!)
.
When you identify your fear, and do something about it, you’re getting a great career strategy.
