Despite all the great advice you’ll receive from classic career development books and job coaches, you may still find yourself immobilized with fear. Whether you’re a seasoned professional changing careers, a laid-off worker coming out of unemployment, or a new graduate seeking your first job, fear – of failure, of the unknown, and even of success – can hinder your ability to move toward your professional goals. By examining the paralyzing and self-limiting nature of fear and exploring your answer to one key question, this thought-provoking and inspiring webinar presented by Peggy Mitchell Norwood will help you to conquer your fears and achieve the career success you desire.
