If you haven't met Yianni then you haven't done yourself any justice. Yianni is the founder and executive director of HealthTechX and embodies the true spirit of leaning in. Yianni was the first person to respond to our 10pm Sunday Night email about what books to recommend. And in true Yianni style, he not only provide two books but he asked a question that no one else asked in response to my question to him about a book recommendation and why, "What's yours, Tash?" Thank you for being interested, Yianni!
Yianni's first recommendation:
Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway
Revised and Updated 20th Anniversary Edition
By: Susan J. Jeffers
"If the title doesn't give it away, This book had a profound impact on the rest of my life. Since reading it I've become more adept to contend with the fear I inherited in my upbringing which was playing itself out as self limiting behavior at the time. It further helped me put into context powerful concepts supporting win-win decision making models and scoring well across all key areas of my life, or at least understanding when the balance wasn't there and why. I've since pushed my boundaries in so many different ways from challenging my fear of heights by sky diving to believing in myself to exit my corporate career and go into bootstrapping health-tech start up."
How could this NOT inspire you to read it? We read this book several years ago and it encouraged us to really think from time to time, "When was the last time I pushed my comfort zones?" This book should help encourage you to explore the idea that fear stops us from doing so many things, including aspects of your business!
