Nobody in education needs to be fearless. Teachers, leaders and staff need a way to keep moving when fear, change and uncertainty show up. That’s fearing less.

be fearless.

That’s fearing less.

FEAR COLLECTOR

Reading thousands
of written fears

Since 2015, people have handed me their fears on index cards after every talk. Reading 75,000 of them is where this work comes from. The fears educators write are not so different from the ones their students write, and that is the point.

The framework for

fearing less

Three moves people can use the same day, in a classroom, a hallway or a board meeting.

Each move gives you something to do with the fear instead of waiting for it to go away:
Trace
Name what you're feeling and where it's coming from.
Embrace
Sort what you control from what you don't, and choose the next step.
Grace
Give yourself, and the people around you, room to be human.

QUESTIONS PLANNERS ASK

Who is this for?

Educators, school and district leaders, higher ed staff and faculty, and the companies and associations that serve them. If your audience works in or around schools, this fits.

Keynote or workshop?

The keynote (45 to 75 minutes) sets the idea. The Fearing Less in Action workshop (half day) puts it to work with a worksheet people keep. Many clients book both for the same day.

Is it different for a room of 60 versus 3,000?

The framework stays the same. The stories, exercises and pacing change for your room, and every talk is customized after a planning call.

What do people leave with?

One next step, written in their own handwriting, and the response card to hold themselves to it.

How far out should we book?

Most events book three to nine months out. If your date is sooner, ask anyway.
