How are the decisions you're making and the person you're being, giving those around you permission to play small and stay in their fears?   It's a heavy question and one with far reaching consequences.    I recently had an experience where I witnessed how the small decisions of a few people impacted a large group. We all know that people watch us and are influenced by our decisions, and that the decisions we make have ripples that can travel far. I'm not sharing anything new here.   Yet, what struck me was the reality that many times people are looking for permission to play small, and they are looking to us to give them that permission.   In this episode I'm exploring why we look to others to help us stay in our fears, and am giving you things to think about next time you are on the fence yourself.
