Amy Silver on her new book called “The Loudest Guest” which centres around the idea of managing our relationship and response to fear

FLG_S2_E5 www.forleadersglobal.com   How do we overcome fear, uncertainty or worry, especially considering the current world climate? Amy Silver dives into the the art of learning how to use fear in a helpful way, instead of letting fear use you. Amy talks through how to listen and hold space for fear, rather than being dominated by it. At the end of the day, fear is an inevitable and inescapable emotion in our human experience, and Amy takes us on a journey to re-frame it! On this episode of the For Leaders Global podcast, we hear about Amy’s new book, “The loudest guest”. With pen to paper, and a whole lot of academic expertise, Amy creatively explains the metaphor of fear being the loudest guest at the dinner party table, dominating the airtime. Through this, Amy invites us to self-reflect on our own personal relationship to fear, and how we respond to it. Furthermore, Amy explains the necessity of having a flexible backup plan when moving through fear, so you don’t get stuck in it, rather you’ll find growth, opportunity, pleasure & pride on the other side. This show is for the leader wanting to be able to change and control their relationship with fear so they can develop resilience, confidence, and have an increased understanding of vulnerability. In turn, the rewards will be huge. Applying this content has the potential to help you take back the focus, work the room, and be the best “dinner party” host you could be.
