Fear gets a bad reputation. It’s often seen as weakness, avoidance, or something to overcome. But what if fear is actually the signal you’ve been ignoring that could lead to clarity, breakthrough, and better leadership?
In this episode of the Revolving Change Podcast, Jorge Loebl joins Isaac and Joanna to unpack one of the most misunderstood forces in leadership and life: fear. This isn't a conversation about bravado or avoidance. It's about understanding where fear comes from, how it affects leadership, and what practical strategies actually work when fear is blocking performance, creativity, or clarity.
Key Insight: Fear doesn’t always show up as panic. It often looks like overthinking, hesitation, discomfort—or even perfectionism. Naming it for what it is is the first step to actually working with it.
This episode explores:
- The evolutionary purpose of fear—and why fight, flight, or freeze still hijacks your performance
- Why fear shows up as procrastination, avoidance, or self-sabotage—especially in leaders
- How to use predictable consequences to turn fear into clarity, accountability, and creativity
- What leadership looks like when fear is acknowledged, not suppressed

Final Thought: What If You’re Not Unmotivated—You’re Just Afraid?
Most professionals don’t even realize fear is the issue.
They say they’re busy. Burned out. Tired. Distracted. But beneath the surface?
Fear of failure. Fear of judgment. Fear of success.
This conversation is about more than emotion—it’s about strategy.
The most effective leaders are those who acknowledge fear, define it, and lead anyway.
