What don’t you dare to say or do at work, purely out of fear of what others think?
Trying to please, fitting the mold, staying under someone’s wing: nothing dramatic, nothing forbidden, just three fear-driven habits that, year after year, shrink the space where you dare to act. This module helps you recognize them in yourself and in those around you, and gives you the first step out of each one.
