Definition: This tool allows us to become aware of fear that blocks us from claiming our inherent power.
Explanation: Fear often underlies reactivity, avoidance, or control behaviors. By surfacing fear, and making heart driven choices, leaders can reclaim agency and act more consciously.
Example: A manager afraid of seeming weak might avoid vulnerability, missing chances to build trust.
How to Use This Tool: Use this reflection tool to name fears that drive unhelpful behavior. Ask: “What’s the fear behind this?” and “What would I do if I weren’t afraid?” It’s especially powerful in 1:1 coaching or self-inquiry.
