A Spark Of Awareness Self Sabotage #3: Leading With Fears
In this weekly reflection of ‘A Spark of Awareness,’ Sophie Vo presents the third self-sabotage pattern in leadership: fear-based decision-making.
Drawing from her own experience and the hundreds of founders she has worked with, Sophie outlines how fear influences leaders’ decisions, leading to detrimental outcomes for teams and organizations, and eventually business growth.
You will get actionable insights on recognizing fear-driven behaviors, differentiating rational and irrational fears, and how to bring them to light so they have less power over you.
This reflection is a reminder of the importance of making decisions from a place of integrity rather than fear, advocating for conscious leadership.
Listeners are encouraged to slow down, connect with their bodies, and reflect on their fears to lead more effectively.
