A Journey Through The Wall

Fear is the WALL that inhibits personal freedom and happiness.  As a severe stutterer for over 30 years, fear and anxiety were the greatest impediments to personal growth, happiness and improved fluency.  Website content, including the A Journey Through the Wall Workshop, provides personal insights into breaking through the "The Beast" that stands between you and your potential.

If you fear something personally or professionally (i.e. change, the unknown, risk, lack of control, etc.), your performance is impacted.  You are limiting your potential as a human being.

This website includes personal revelation and self discovery, and the knowledge and content of subject matter experts in the areas of fear management, change management, and leadership development.

Exploring Personal Icebergs

The iceberg analogy has been used for years in occupational and clinical studies. The unique geological characteristic of an iceberg is that only 10% of the iceberg is above water. The majority of the iceberg is hidden by the freezing waters of the Polar Regions.

Too many people search for the silver bullet, the quick fix, the magic potion, or that little piece of advice or strategy that will finally, and suddenly, propel them forward in their fight against fear. That strategy fails, time and time again, because it only focuses on 10% of your personal iceberg. That part that is immediately seen by those around you.

"The speech therapies I tried several times in the past only reinforced this shortsightedness by focusing on the 10%. While I achieved some fluency improvements in the sterile, comfort zones of clinics and pathology labs, those improvements were short-lived and non-sustainable in real world application. This is not an affront against those practitioners since I take as much, if not more, responsibility for the failure to address that 90% that was always waiting for me outside the therapist’s office, every minute of every hour of every day of my life."  Mick Constantinou
