90. The Number One Killer of Human Potential with Dr. Karen Tilstra

Electric Ideas with Whitney Baker

Do you remember that one time when you didn’t speak up but later regretted it? It could’ve been in the office, with a group of friends, or even with your family. You were too scared to be vulnerable or authentic so you just stayed quiet.

‌

People minimize their creativity every day because of fear. Whitney’s guest, Dr. Karen Tilstra sees this first-hand in her work with the various corporations she works with. As the founder of Creativity Effect, author, and educational psychologist, Dr, Tilstra has been able to identify the root of an individual’s death lines - the fear of failing

‌

Tune in to Whitney and Dr. Tilstra’s conversation to hear techniques and tools to identify and keep your death lines in check.

Here’s what to look forward to in today’s episode

• Examples of times people in prominent positions were too timid to speak up
• Dr. Tilstra explains what death lines are and how they hold us back
• Learn how to identify your death lines and avoid falling into those traps
• Explore techniques like the tollbooth and four-aces
• Understand we can become aware of and overcome death lines
• Scenarios of death lines in professional and personal spaces
• One question women could be asking themselves more: What would you do if you weren't afraid? What would you do if you knew you couldn't / wouldn’t fail?
