We've all been there—facing a big decision, a new challenge, or a moment that pushes us out of our comfort zone. Whether it's taking on new responsibilities, making a career change, or choosing a different path, the fear of the unknown can feel overwhelming. And while we often hear advice like "just take the leap," it’s not always that simple. What if, instead of brushing off our fears, we took the time to really understand them? In this interactive and hands-on workshop facilitated by Amie Haar, we’ll dive into what’s really holding you back. You’ll learn how to identify the specific fears you’re facing, uncover what’s at the root of them, and develop practical strategies to move forward with confidence. Through group discussions, practical exercises, and take-home tools, you’ll gain the clarity and motivation to tackle your fears head-on—ready to take bold steps toward your goals and a more fulfilled version of yourself.
