From heights to snakes and spiders, we all have something that we deeply fear. When faced with these, we’d rather stick our heads in the sand and ignore them, hoping that they’ll be gone when we finally decide to look up.

Unfortunately, this also happens in the workplace. Rather than learn new skillsets or consider a career change, we instead stick with what we know, falsely believing that they’re good enough for us, even when we’re no longer happy. Rather than take a leap of faith, we instead bury our heads in the sand and miss out on the countless fantastic opportunities that we could have taken advantage of.

This is The Ostrich Syndrome – a human tendency that, while understandable, does more harm than good.
