Fear Less: Face Not-good-enough to Replace Your Doubts, Achieve Your Goals, and Unlock Your Success

From the performance psychologist who played a major role in England's surprising success in the 2018 World Cup comes a proven framework business professionals can use to overcome the primary obstacle to success: fear

In her 20 years of experience, renowned sports psychologist and culture coach Dr. Pippa Grange has found that even the most successful people in the world experience the fear of not being good enough to some extent. It's their ability to identify it and either "turn down the volume" on it or be consumed by it that spells the difference. What can make this even more challenging is that fear is often created intentionally in organizations as a misguided motivational tool, which ultimately fails to get the best out of people. In Fear Less, Dr. Grange teaches business professionals to see and face the fear that manifests in perfectionism, jealousy, self-criticism, and harsh judgment, and replace that fear with acceptance, purpose, authentic connection, passion, or laughter-to name just a few. She also provides effective fear management techniques for facing moments of critical pressure and potential overwhelm:

• Processing - through conscious tactics that bring the mind back to where you want it: on the job at hand
• Distraction - deliberately focusing on other tasks when there's nothing active to be done about what you actually fear
• Rationalization - drawing on the actual facts and evidence to talk yourself through the situation
