How To Identify Your Internal Fears - Corey Wilks - #487

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hi friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Corey Wilks. He's a licensed clinical psychologist and an executive coach. Fears hold us back. They encourage us to shy away from challenges. They cause us to fall short of our potential and make life miserable while they're at it. Corey has created a framework of identifying and overcoming our internal fears from a decade of clinical and coaching experience with some of the world's highest performers. Expect to learn why 76% of people talk about not facing their fears as a deathbed regret. The four categories of fears Corey has found most commonly with his clients, how self-sabotaging behavior is driven by internal worries, how procrastination, perfectionism and complacency are all part of the same equation and much more.
