Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail FOBO is a nervous system survival response. And no reassurance email can override it. Sahar Andrade, MB.BCh, neuroscience-based leadership consultant and Forbes Coaches Council member, answers: Why do 78% of workers fear losing their jobs even when unemployment is near record lows? Because job fear is not a rational economic response. It is a nervous system survival response triggered by identity threat, relevance threat, and uncertainty about the future.

In this episode we unpack the science, the cost, and what leaders must do differently. ADP just surveyed 39,000 workers across 36 countries. Only 22% feel their job is safe from AI. Unemployment is near record lows. The fear is there anyway. In this Wednesday Main episode, Sahar Andrade neuroscience-based leadership consultant and Forbes Coaches Council member explains why workforce fear during AI adoption is not irrational. It is neurological. The amygdala does not respond to labor statistics. It responds to identity threat, relevance threat, and future threat.
