Welcome to the Tero October eZine


FEAR

False Evidence Appearing Real.

When something is fearful to us, it doesn't matter if there is no evidence of reality. To us, the perceived threat is real.

A recent article in Psychology Today, "What Are You Afraid Of" by Robert Maurer PH.D, uncovers what researchers discovered about fear.

The article states how one handles fear is an essential ingredient to success in relationships, be they personal or professional. In handling fear, the article asserts that we are not skilled at two essential characteristics which cause us to be prey to our fear.

What are those two aspects?

  1. We are not skilled at identifying our fear
  2. We do not know how to ask for or get the specific support needed to put a fear to rest

Professionally there are a myriad of interpersonal situations that can create a sense of fear. Standing up in front of a group to give a talk is rated one of the greatest human fears. Having to lead (especially as a newly minted leader) causes trepidation for many. Change can induce fear. Just socializing in a business context can elicit fear.

Fearing interpersonal situations can make the landscape of our work life a veritable minefield… that is unless we become adept at identifying the fears accurately and getting the support we need to conquer them.

Maurer informs that highly successful people avoid calling their fear stress, anxiety or nerves. Maurer contends calling fear these things makes it easy to blame the situation or another person for our feelings and leads us to feel helpless in the face of fear rather than empowered. Successful individuals label fear by its name, and then take action to address it. Successful individuals also view reaching for and receiving support for things that cause them fear a strength.

Our October eZine explores some of the many interpersonally related fears faced in the workplace, and the various types of support that exist to eliminate them. The Q and A Relates how to reframe the fears associated with stress and change. The development challenge explores how to handle online disputes, without creating fear or reacting because of it. The article examines the link between the recent clown sightings and fear, and what we can learn about facing our workplace fears. The inspiration helps us explain the relationship between dissonance and fear, and what we can do to alleviate this discord and create success.

We encourage you to make a list of any fears you have that are holding you back professionally. It has been said the only thing to fear is fear itself! If you can name it, and find the proper support, do you even need to fear it?
