167: Normalizing Fear with Ron Macklin

In this episode, I talk with Ron Macklin, founder of Macklin Connection, bestselling author, and entrepreneur. Through a unique mid-life transition, Ron left his career as an engineer to pursue a role as a coach, primarily focusing on team building in organizations. 

 

We talk about the importance of acknowledging and embracing fear in the professional environment, underlining that everyone is afraid and it is normal. In his book, 'Everyone is Afraid, a Fable of Fear, Friendship and Flourishing’, Ron uses a story to help people to notice that they're not alone because they're afraid.

Macklin Connection is focused on helping businesses create a culture they love, empower their employees, and develop as a team by facing and discussing mutual fears.
