These top 3 fears keep thousands of professionals paralyzed in unhappy and unrewarding jobs and careers. Here's how to overcome them:
Ken, you mentioned in our podcast interview that the single most potent thing that stops professionals from doing what's necessary to build a happier career is fear of all kinds. Can you share more about the top fears you hear every day from people?The most common fears I see every day on my show are the fear of failure, fear of peers, and the fear of rejection.
The fear of rejection is a result of our pride. We simply don’t like to hear the word “no.” If the employer picks someone else, that stings, and we take it personally. Rejection creates uncertainty that feeds our insecurity. Once we have felt the hurt of rejection, we are reluctant to step toward new opportunities because rejection is always possible.
The second reason is they don’t believe they can do it – whether it’s because they think they are not good enough, not young enough, don’t have enough time, don’t have enough money, or don’t have enough support. All of these excuses for staying put and playing it safe eventually becomes a voice in their head that tells them that change is not the smart decision.
