Description

Fear is not the enemy - it’s an invitation.This course isn’t about becoming fearless. It’s about learning to move with fear instead of letting it keep you stuck. Whether your fear shows up as hesitation, overthinking, perfectionism, or avoidance, this course offers tools to help you take your next step - even if it’s a small one.We’ll explore fear not just as an emotion to avoid, but as a message you can learn from. You’ll discover how to recognize your patterns, understand the biology of fear, and start shifting your mindset so you can act with more clarity and courage.This is a personal course - built from my own experience and from years of working closely with people facing real and often life-threatening fears. As a Mine Risk Education Specialist, I worked in environments where fear wasn’t abstract - it was daily, visceral, and very real. That experience deeply shaped the way I now see fear, and how I support others in working with it too.You’ll get honest reflections, stories from the field, and simple yet powerful tools you can actually use. This isn’t theoretical fluff. These are practices that can support you in everyday life - whether you’re preparing for a big presentation, navigating change, or simply learning how to stop holding yourself back.This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
