Show Notes

I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.

Fear is the most basic of human instincts.  We need it to tell us when to be cognizant of impending danger.

The challenge with fear is that it can, and wants to, take over.  Fear wants to keep us inside our comfort zones, keep us safe, secure in the knowledge that if we don’t push ourselves, we can’t get hurt.

But the question is, how can we, as leaders, harness the power of fear to not only survive, but thrive?

And so, in this episode, you’ll hear from Richard Blank, CEO for Costa Rica’s Call Centre, who will talk about his experiences with fear in the workplace.  Richard will use his personal and professional examples to talk about how emerging leaders can live with their fear, use it to create strong and powerful teams.  Lastly, Richard will give practical advice to leaders so they can use their fear to help themselves and their teams thrive.
