“Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together.”~ Earl Nightingale
Doubt will kill your career. Doubt will stop transformation in a second.
Does doubt and danger lurk in your life? If so, it may well be killing your career.
Do you view doubt as danger? When doubt and danger are inseparable, you may overlook opportunity. Your brain and body work together to help you survive.
Opportunities may require you to step out of your comfort zone. Does the area outside your comfort zone feel like danger?
For most people, their career is not filled with danger. There are exceptions, such as military careers, skydivers, etc. Similarly, most career opportunities are not a threat to survival.
Now that does not mean that I have not had days when an opportunity didn’t feel like danger, sending all my systems into survival mode.
Or, from time to time that real danger does not appear in my life. Recently it appeared on the highway during a morning commute. That morning I was delighted that “divine intervention” and all the amazing systems of my brain and body worked together to keep me safe.
Doubt is different from danger. Can you separate the two?
The Earl Nightingale quote above is a reminder that the line between danger and opportunity can be very thin.
Doubt will kill your career if you can’t see the opportunities. Blind spots show up when doubt is ever present or hangs around too long.
The executives I work with know that awareness, experience, knowledge and preparation build confidence. They also have learned to pay attention to doubt, to pause and gather facts and create the best responses in all situations.
If your career trajectory is ready for a transformation, learning what these executives know about paying attention to doubt can change the game, enhance your sense of freedom and allow you to have the fulfillment you desire.
Doubt and danger are different. Danger is cars spinning around on the highway out of control. Learning to feel and leverage doubt helps you turn those moments — those “thin” points of opportunity — into unique situations with better than envisioned outcomes.
If stress and doubt are killing your career and you are not ready for life support, let’s talk.

I’d enjoy helping you transform your career. Have an amazing week!
