Jonathan Fields/UNCERTAINTY: Turning Fear into Fuel

UNCERTAINTY is about what goes on in your head,
your heart, and your gut ... as you strive to CREATE anything truly extraordinary.

Jonathan Fields, Julie Ann's guest on ConsciousSHIFT and author of "Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt into Fuel for Brilliance," shares:
[Uncertainty is] about the nutty things we do, the gremlins we battle, the decisions we make and actions we take in the pursuit of long-term, large-scale creative, artistic, entrepreneurial, and organizational greatness."

In this show, Julie Ann and Jonathan guide you a journey through uncertainty - what management guru Tom Peters calls "tolerance for ambiguity" (and says it's the most-needed skill of all in today's fast-changing world), and what Deepak Chopra calls "the wisdom of uncertainty" - is something we all experience, and are called to reckon with.

Why would Deepak Chopra say there is "wisdom"
in uncertainty?

If everything is known, already determined, "certain" - there is no room for creativity, innovation, or new potentials, to emerge and break through.

It's that very lack of certainty that serves as proof that you're creating something unique and new - something meaningful ... whether you're creating a new project, writing a novel, choreographing a dance, starting a company, or coding an app.

Moreover, achieving your dreams depends on it.

As Jonathan says, "So many people misinterpret the relief from anxiety when you pull away from the creative process as reclaiming peace of mind instead of what it so often is: the fleeting sensation of dreams dying. ...

The ability not only to endure but to invite, amplify, and exalt uncertainty, then reframe it as fuel is paramount to your ability to succeed as a CREATOR."

Join Julie Ann and Jonathan to gain a better understanding of your own creative process - and a set of concrete daily practices that will allow you to reframe uncertainty, risk, and exposure as allies for creating and innovating on a level you never thought possible.
