The Uncertainty of Business and Why We're All a Little Afraid

Business has a ton of uncertainty. The strategy, the customers, the employees — people are uncertain. We are personal, emotional, and social beings. We aren't robots. And uncertainty is a shared human experience that has the opportunity to ring us together. When we have those shared human experiences, there's comfort and courage that gets built in knowing that we're not alone. In this week’s episode, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession talks to us about uncertainty in business and how we are all a little afraid. We think that business is all under control because there's a spreadsheet. But there's so much that is just “figuring it out.” Rebecca talks about the human side of business, reminding us that, “business is done by people for people, and nobody has it all figured out.” She tells us about times she has been afraid and fears she has experienced during her career, and she gives us permission to all “go figure it out together.” We will listen to Rebecca as she tells us about the way we can use uncertainty as a unifying experience that makes us feel bolder and more confident. In her own words, “we're all in this together.” Listen in to learn more about why we are all a little afraid and how the uncertainty in business can actually unite us and embolden us.
