“Fear might look like control, but it’s actually a counterfeit that limits creativity, burns people out, and keeps us small.”
In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession exposes how fear shows up in today’s workplace and why it’s sabotaging both people and performance. Rebecca explains why the antidote to fear isn’t waiting for organizations to change, but cultivating self-respect. She shares five pillars of self-respect: identity, boundaries, alignment, humility, and abundance. These pillars show how each one counters the counterfeit beliefs that fear plants in our work and lives.
