112 - Overcoming fears and doubts on your early career journey
Did you know that sometimes the highest achieving students are the most fearful when it comes to their career journey?
Sometimes this can manifest as disinterest or not wanting to make decisions.
In this episode of the Dive Into Your Career podcast, the topic of fear and uncertainty takes centre stage.
How are you feeling about your early career journey?
If you have any worries or fears, what are they? Take the time to name them. It may include fear of:
- The unknown
- Rejection
- Speaking to people
- Making a decision
- Making the wrong decision
- Wasting time
- Wasting money
- Coming across as pushy
... what is it for you.
By recognising and owning it you can overcome and / or live alongside it... resulting in a more joy-filled, less stressful early career journey. Sound good? Good.
