A Coaching Power Tool By Alexandra Jimenez
Career Coach, SWITZERLAND

In many life situations where we are overcoming Fear vs. Presence, we find ourselves having to make a decision, willing to make a change, motivated to try something new, or even wanting to stop doing something, and then the usual ‘but’ comes into play. A sense of unease begins to creep in; it can cause us to delay our actions, or even cause pain. If we look closely at what it is, we can honestly say it is fear. In the context of coaching, the most common fear we see is one that is not only uncomfortable but also frustrating and painful. If we let it stay with us for too long, it can make us feel trapped, either unable to stop or unable to do something.
