Learn and Use the Plus 1 Technique: Do the thing you are afraid to do now…

Daily Quote:

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face…You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

Reflection: Fear is just part of life. I have found out that your problems don’t just go away by ignoring them. You must step-up and take the action you are avoiding. For example, you have a big presentation next week that you are not prepared for and keep putting off the preparation because you rationalize that you I have given this presentation many times before and you are expert on the topic to be discussed. Stop take a breath and face the truth that this is a make and break presentation for next level of funding. Face your fear and push through it now.

Self-Coaching Challenge: Identify a fear you are struggling with and take one small step today to confront your fear and then observe how you feel about your progress and set out your next step to complete. This is what I call the Plus 1 technique for personal change.
