Nothing to fear

Many of us around the world are confronting the harsh reality of economic uncertainty.  In many respects fear has eclipsed rational thinking and created a reality not wholly based on fact - perception became reality.  Fear has replaced rational thought.

 

This article from bizjournals brought me back to reality.  I (we) can't use coping behaviours that play into the fear and self doubt, but need to focus on what I (we) can control.  Now more than ever we need to leverage our individual and collective knowledge.

 

The author details five behaviours that hit home with me:

 

Stay grounded

Lead with compassion

Maintain a realistic optimism

Support each other

Go with the energy
