Company Culture the Personality of Your Business and Brand
Is your company culture fear-based, trust-based, or strengths-based? Take a few moments to think about it. How would you know the difference? It’s vital information that reflects the personality of both your business and brand. In a fear-based culture the traditional hierarchy dominates. Managers tell uninspired employees what to do and how to do it based on the assumption that the company is a machine that needs willing servants to function properly. Does this sound overly simplified? In reality, the fear factor might express itself with more subtlety but it always comes down to a one-way communication channel. It is no surprise that creativity and innovation suffer while productivity slows down when fear is the motivator.

Transforming Fear
Perhaps you have heard that if you fear something “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” That advice can be helpful to a point, but it has one very significant drawback: The fear is still there. So if you have a fear of cold calling, or a fear of failure, or a fear of success, or a fear of rejection, or – even more likely — some combination of all of these fears, summoning your personal power and acting in spite these fears is a brave thing to do, but as exhausting as running uphill with bricks in your pocket.

Healthy Fear
There really is "healthy fear." For example, it's very healthy to fear drinking before you drive. However, fear should not be allowed to run rampant through our lives so that it becomes such a devastating factor that it produces failure. The problem is not getting rid of fear, but using it properly.
Are you too old?
Rarely is age really a factor in doing something in life. If you say you're "too young", what you fear is that you don't have enough life experience. On the other hand, saying you're "too old", is often a way to express your fear of limits. Have you bought into the "over the hill" myth and resigned yourself to sitting on the sidelines instead of allowing yourself to give it all you've got out on life's playing field?

Fear: Taming the enemy within
Every day I speak to managers, executives and sales personnel about what holds them back from achieving the success they want and earning the incomes they desire. Every day I hear the same thing: Fear. Fear of getting a no, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of rejection and the list goes on. But fear has a structure and when you know the structure, you can make it disappear.

Successful People Face Their Fears and Act
Fear is the enemy of self confidence. Self confident people face their fears and act. Procrastination is the manifestation of fear. When you find yourself procrastinating, figure out what scares you about the situation. Is it fear of failure? Is it fear of success? Is it fear of rejection? Is it fear of being embarrassed? Is it fear of the unknown? Once you've figured out why you are afraid, do three things; admit your fear to yourself, embrace your fear, and take action. Action is the antidote to fear. In most cases, you'll choose wisely and your fears won't be realized. In the cases when you choose poorly, you'll find that failure isn't as catastrophic as you imagined. Successful people learn from their failures.

Fear and Relationships: Two More Tips for Value Based Networking
Very often, fear is what keeps us from maximizing our contacts with other people. Human beings are full of fears: fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of looking ignorant or stupid, fear of hearing the word “no.” What you should really be afraid of is missing an opportunity because you didn’t make the contact.

Leadership Development: FUD to FUN
The FUD Factor tends to sneak up just around the time of the changing of the seasons. This is where at work you may be falling short of what was projected for the first quarter. FUD FACTOR: fear, uncertainty and doubt have a way of making the lights dimmer, the tinsel less sparkly, the bells sound tinny, and the gifts not just right. There is a certain need to be perfect, to be disappointed if we come up even just a few inches short of what we think should have happened. We are hard on ourselves; and way too often, we are also hard on those around us.
