When the Ground Shifts Beneath Your Feet
What if the biggest threat to your career isn't the economy, your competition, or even technology-but your own fear? Royal Dutch Shell's Mandar Apte discovered something startling: the professionals who struggle most aren't battling external forces. They're wrestling with invisible chains forged from anxiety, doubt, and resistance. This insight cuts to the heart of our modern dilemma. We live in an age where a college degree no longer guarantees stability, where entire industries vanish overnight, and where yesterday's expertise becomes tomorrow's obsolescence. Yet most of us still approach change like it's an intruder rather than an inevitable guest. The uncomfortable truth? Your fear isn't protecting you-it's holding you hostage. And the cost of staying comfortable has never been higher.
