What Are You Afraid Of?: It all starts with things we are afraid of: grizzly bears, jellyfish, scorpions, giant snakes, things that can hurt us bad. Then we move into the one thing we are all afraid of: change. What we see today in our business world is no longer “Business as Usual”. In fact, we may not ever be able to do business like we used to years ago. Which actually may not be a bad thing. Ride with me for a while to discover how Change can actually help us improve our lives and businesses. How we may find a rainbow in the Covid storm.
