Episode Synopsis
What if the biggest obstacle in your transition isn’t strategy—it’s fear?In this episode, Elizabeth Ledoux unpacks the fears that hold founders and successors in place, even when they say they want forward movement. She explains how hidden fears shape decisions, limit communication, and keep people isolated at the exact moment they need connection the most.Through real client examples, Elizabeth explores why transitions trigger identity questions, financial worries, concerns about relevance, and a desire to keep “skeletons in the closet.” She offers mindset shifts and practical insight for naming fear, understanding it, and moving through it with clarity and bravery.In this episode:The fears that keep entrepreneurs and successors stuckFear of loss, fear of relevance, fear of conflict, fear of regretWhy isolation amplifies fear—and connection shrinks itThe cost of staying stuck: missed opportunities, silent resentment, delayed decisionsShifting from the “gap” to the “gain”Why bravery is less about bold action and more about letting someone inHow transparency, shared vision, and conversation unlock momentum The role of the Evolve program and immersion work in breaking fear-driven patterns🔗 Connect with Elizabeth Ledoux & The Transition StrategistsWebsite: https://transitionstrategists.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetransitionstrategistsElizabeth on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethledoux/Transition Strategists on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/transitionstrategists/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@transitionstrategists🔗 Connect with Andrea Carpenter & Your Next Gen FriendWebsite: https://yournextgenfriend.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yournextgenfriend/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@yournextgenfriendLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreashaver/🎧 Subscribe to The Business Transition RoadmapSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3MxSYA2Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3IhMMux
