Is fear limiting your success? If you are not sure of your answer, you are not alone. FEAR is one of those words women try to avoid! Many women reject the possibility that FEAR plays a part in their career and success. Some prefer to blame their anxieties and depression on stress … not fear. You have to be brave to admit fear. In her keynote presentation “Feminine Fear,” Annella Metoyer addresses that FEAR is real, and it is fear that keeps us from stepping out and taking risks. Fear limits each of us and sabotages our success. Annella openly shares her experiences and insights on her personal encounters with fear. She encourages women to take the risk and build on their own power source.
