Anything branding or revenue related! I am passionate about both. But, I am even more passionate about fear in the workplace and how it holds us back from all the things we want to achieve, personally and professionally. If your intention is to live in happiness, to find abundance, to stand up for something, to spread joy, to be a better leader, then fear is part of your life, and you better get comfortable with it. None of us can eliminate fear from our lives. But, we can reduce its power over us. We can change the way we relate to fear, understand how we experience it and how it deflates us, so that we meet it head on and get ahead of it in our own way. Fear is not the enemy! I love to share the five facets of fear that I have learned and offer the four parts of the FEAR Framework(TM) to inspire you on your leadership journey.
