I’m scared all the time but I do things anyway because there’s usually no other choice.

Where there is a choice, I’m usually led by a sense of duty or compelled to ‘do what’s right’, so sometimes I don’t necessarily want to do something but not doing it would be wrong.

I’ve been employed at my place of work for less than two years and I’m now Co-Chair of one of their affinity networks. It’s one of those things I did out of a sense of duty.

I was scared when I applied.

I was scared when I got the role.

I’m scared I’ll f**k it up.

Recently I was invited to join a panel discussion as part of my role as Co-Chair.

I was scared while I did that too.

But I did it anyway.

I do so many things scared.

So, you know that thing you’re too scared to do?

You should probably just do it.

And if you’re not sure how to get started, I might be able to help:
