We fear the unknown, change and of course danger. In this discussion, Dr. Sandra Magnus and Admiral Sandy Winnefeld hammer home how they mastered fear, stress and anxiety in lifelong careers with extreme danger, uncertainty and responsibility. Desensitization through extensive training and preparation has been the simple logic, however it requires a lot of hard work and discipline. If you’re willing to put in the work, Dr. Magnus and Admiral Winnefeld show how any person can conquer fear and anxiety.
