Hi Sheila!
Let me wish you Happy New Year first :-)
The question you have asked is very true and very good. We all want success but somewhere in our heart we have fear also to lose. So i will discuss few solutions which will help you to overcome the fear of success in your team members.
1. Need to talk and discuss your growth among the team members: How often do we hold the negative in because we are afraid of how others might react, or because of some other reason? Talking helps, but don’t throw a pity party for yourself.
2. Be positive and teach others to be Positive: Whenever fear strikes, flip it over. Instead of thinking of something bad that can happen, think of something positive. What’s a positive outcome to your fear? If you’re thinking about public speaking, imagine yourself being wildly successful instead of failing horribly.
3. Become your own and your team's hero/idol: We all tell ourselves a story about our fear. If I’m afraid that no one will like my writing, I tell myself a story (in my head) about how I’ll fail horribly, people will laugh at me, or even worse, no one will read what I have to say. What’s your story? Share you journey in SFI and your positive views about this program among the team.
4. Become a helping hand for others: Be kind to others. If you’re shy, focus on helping people instead of being self-conscious about how you look or sound when you talk or when you reply to their messages. Flip it on other people and make yourself feel good.
5. Understand failure: When you will be able to make your team members to realize that failure is not the end of the world, you become free. Failure is just a stepping stone to success. And most of our fears are fear of failure, shame, or somehow not living up to the standards society
has put up for us.
Remember the quote of SFI "AIM HIGH, DREAM BIG"
6. Create awareness among your team: Before you can begin overcoming fear, you have to know that they are causing havoc in your life. It’s easy to get so attached to your thoughts and feelings that you think they are all that exist, which couldn't be further from the truth.
Once you will start creating awareness among you team, about everyone's journey in SFI. It will surely boost others confidence.
Hope my suggestion will help you to boost and create motivational environment in you team.
Best of luck and never quite!!!
