Recommendation

Kate Swoboda, director of the Courageous Living Coach Certification program, shares her journey and those of numerous clients to help you overcome the fear that stops you from living your dreams. She mixes anecdotes with written and reflective exercises and offers supportive online worksheets. Her exercises take time, but they’ll nourish new self-knowledge. Swoboda doesn’t repeat aphorisms or wave magic wands; she focuses on long-term, daily work. You can read the book quickly, but the work takes much longer. Nevertheless, it can only strengthen your self-awareness and your relationships. Managers, leaders and staff can apply her insights to challenge, understand and overcome their own self-doubt, fears and limitations.

 

Take-Aways

  • People have a physical response to fear, though you might not be aware of others’ reactions.
  • If you write about living a day without the limitations of being afraid, what you write will reveal the changes you want to make.
  • Use the “Courage Habit” model to change your behavior or your life.
