On today's Man Alive podcast episode I was joined by David Wood, a former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies who became #1 on Google for “life coaching,” serving 150,000 coaches around the world. David specializes in helping people overcome their fears and reach their goals.
To have an amazing career and relationships, a life full of passion, connection and adventure, it is inevitable that you will face fear at some point. Everyone does. The question is, what then? How do you move through fear so you don't miss precious opportunities?
David believes that the tough conversations we avoid are our doorways to confidence, success, and love. They become the defining moments that shape our lives. He coaches high performing entrepreneurs, executives and teams – and even prison inmates – to create amazing results and deep connection, as well as to achieve more, by focusing on less.
We discussed:
- How to shift your relationship with fear so it doesn't keep you stuck and unsatisfied
- Why fear tends to stop people but doesn't have to stop you
- When to move through fear and when to stop and nurture yourself
- How to share about your fear with others to create more connection rather than less
- What's possible when you let go of the fear of how you're seen or perceived
