Overview

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 Fear Less will equip readers with the tools to train and practice responses to fear in the same way elite athletes train for and perform at a big game—with equally dramatic results. Beyond that, the book will enable the change of perspective that is required to actually move beyond fear to a place of joy, fulfillment, and meaning.
