Ep. 3: Coexisting with Fear to Achieve Your Goals

August 05, 2024 • Ashley Linkewich

In this episode of the Emerging Leader Podcast, I delve into the complex topic of fear—what it is, why we have it, and how we can coexist with it. Drawing from personal experiences and psychological insights, I explore the nature of fear and the concept of courage as its counterbalance.

Topics include the inherent human trait of fear, the spotlight effect, and the classification of fears by psychologist Carl Albrecht. I talk about the importance of facing and accepting fear as an inevitable part of growth, and challenge you to have one hard conversation each week and to embrace the uncomfortable fringes where success lies.
