Why Change Feels So Scary

In this one I'm doing something I've never done on the show. I'm walking you through a pivot I'm in the middle of right now, live, before it's tied up in a perfect bow. We get into why change is so terrifying even when you know it's time, why limbo is the most expensive place you can stand, and how perfectionism keeps you curled up in a ball instead of in action. I share the career mistakes I used to be ashamed of, the CEO who chased me for a year, and the 20% revenue win that came from getting past my own fear.Key Takeaways:- Fear of change is universal, but it doesn't have to stop you.- Running small experiments can lead to big insights and wins.- Mistakes are part of growth; they don't define your worth.- Trust your standards and values to guide tough decisions.- Support and feedback are crucial for successful pivots.Episode Chapters:00:00 Embracing Change: The Fear of Pivots02:48 The Challenge of Making Change06:09 Navigating Fear and Certainty09:06 The Journey of Self-Discovery12:02 Learning from Mistakes14:54 The Power of Experimentation18:03 Finding Support in Leadership21:05 The Importance of Taking Action24:00 Celebrating Wins and Growth26:59 The Commitment to Make a DifferenceWork with Amy: amyevanscoaching.com/workwithmeBook your complimentary career planning call: amyevanscoaching.com/workwithmeFollow the show: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/women-in-sales-leadership/id1765026855Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0lnzIwlqDzxFTA4KllGfWW
