How To Ditch The Fear And 2X Your Career And Compensation

I got 5 promotions in 10 years working for two of the largest Fortune 500 companies. I How do you become confident?

It’s the million-dollar question I was asked during my latest conversation with Micha Goebig, leadership consultant and coach (check out the LinkedIn Live here).

For me, confidence is simply the courage to take the next step, even when you are scared. Most high-performing professionals I work with are not stuck in their careers because they lack experience, skills, or qualifications. They are stuck because of fear.

Fear that they don’t have the skills for the next level role.

Fear that they will make a wrong career move.

Fear that they are a one-time success story.

Fear that they are too old to change jobs.

Fear that they are not good enough.

Fear that they are not ready.

Fear that they’ll be judged.

Fear that they’ll fail.

But most importantly, they fear not living up to their truest potential.

And so they do nothing at all. AND THEY STAY STUCK.

Ditch the self-imposed barriers. Ditch the fear. That’s the only way to step into your truest potential.
