In this episode, Caroline Spencer is joined by Amy, a senior leader with 25 years experience in law, finance, consulting, and government.
FOPO (Fear of Other People's Opinions) is being fixated on what other people think of us. It can lead to us not speaking up in meetings, agreeing with people to avoid conflict, downplaying our strengths, seeking constant validation, managing how others perceive us rather than acting from our values or not having the hard conversation or giving useful feedback.
Drawing on real workplace examples, Biblical wisdom, and personal reflection, this conversation reframes how we can be braver when it comes to other people's opinions.
Bible references: Proverbs 29:25, Luke 22:54-62, Galatians 2:11-12, 1 Peter 1:17-19, 3:14-15.
