Are there certain things you always do when you visit new travel destinations? One of the things I find myself doing is climbing towers. When I see one, I know I have to climb it, which might seem odd, as I am afraid of heights. Why do I do it, then? The amazing views, taking on a challenge and sharing the experience with others allow me to move through my fears.

New projects can bring a mix of excitement and trepidation. If the project is something your organization has never done, there can be a variety of opinions on how the project should be done and different visions of the outcome. I have found that it is helpful to bring the team together for a brainstorming meeting to begin a project that not only generates ideas on how to accomplish the project but also discusses the feelings they are having about the project.
