Topics for JJ Ferrari

  • Fear into confidence - Lessons from a lifetime of change
    FEAR holds a permanent place in the human psyche. Everyone has fears. Fear has been handed down like a family heirloom through generations by people we are supposed to trust; parents, teachers and authorities.

    In these times, it is difficult to get someone to believe they can act from courage and confidence. Fear is everywhere right now, it’s considered negative and gets the blame for most bad things bad that happen to us. JJ Ferrari doesn’t think like most people. She has had a deep, dark relationship with fear and has learned to harness its power. As JJ says, if you only work on being confident or only work at your goals but don’t know your fears, you’ll never make the changes you need to succeed.

    When you are in a fearful state, can sit in it without panic and come clear and conscious of where you are and what you need to do, you see fear differently. To the masses it still remains a chaotic and insurmountable barrier to be overcome. Successful people look for it in their life and dealings to help them make inspired decisions and stand strong when others cannot.

    When you learn that fear is an energy that you can convert to acts of courage and confidence and believe you are capable of using it, you will find yourself facing more of life’s most important decisions, challenges and opportunities with greater ease. achieving more of what you want and need.

TEDx Melbourne

We were so humbled to have this remarkable woman take us with her on her journey of transition by sharing her own deeply personal experiences and by challenging us to embrace a lifetime of change not only personally but professionally in the workplace. In an incredible and unforgettable session with our legal team, that was simultaneously humorous and poignant, Jo scratched deep beneath the surface to help us unearth the reasons why some of us get stuck in a fixed mindset and to encourage us to persevere in the face of uncertainty and risk, and to embrace change and challenge in our careers. Jo has forever shifted the needle in helping us to become the better version of ourselves, to be open to new opportunities in what we do day to day in the office as well as reminding us to hold firm to what we truly believe in. Highly recommended!
