KEY TAKEAWAYS
We cannot hope to surmount the problems that hold us back from greatness unless we first admit they exist, and then allow others to support our overcoming them. In the wake of the pandemic, the need for a more open discussion upon the ills of emotional imbalance, especially in the workplace, are far more relevant. Success is often due to our energy, talent and commitment to a task, rather than some desire to be the best, or to provide perfection. Fear can be easier to deal with because its roots usually lie in something specific. However, anxiety is non-specific and therefore can be tricky to be deal with. Therefore, by channelling our broader anxieties into something more specific can be helpful in our learning to deal with them.BEST MOMENTS
'When we keep everything bottled up, we suffer in silence'
'We want our leaders to be emotional, but not too emotional'
'The reason we allow ourselves to think this way is that we believe that it serves us'
'Fear is when we believe that something specific will happen'
