Description
"Are you going to do this? Ever?" Standing at the edge of the highest diving board at the aquatic center, a young Adam Grant tries and tries, and tries to leap off. But he can't face down his fear — not so much of falling as losing control. So there he stands at the end of the board, paralyzed. In this story, Adam Grant, now a famed organizational psychologist, shares how a wise diving coach helped him outsmart fear — and take the leap.Visit Adam’s website: https://adamgrant.net/Follow Adam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamgrantDiscover more about Adam's latest book, Hidden Potential: https://adamgrant.net/book/hidden-potential/If this episode resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you.
