Overcoming Our Fear of Failure | Anne Guerrant | TEDxArrowheadRanch

Anne Guerrant shares the experiences that helped her realize what lies behind our fear of failure. More important, she imparts the lessons she has learned about how we can become successful and grow to take risks in spite of our apprehension and anxiety.

Anne Guerrant knows a little something about facing her fears and taking risks. As a young woman, she traveled the world as a professional tennis player. She defeated players such as Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova and ranked as high as #11 in the world. On a trip to India in 2005, Anne and her husband, Terry, visited a micro-lending program in a small village and it changed their lives. They met women who had taken out loans as little as $40 and were able to provide food security for their children and send them to school. The Guerrants were inspired by the women’s dignity and ambition. They started the Guerrant Foundation, Inc. to help women and families improve their lives through small loans. They began making large personal donations and fundraising in mid-2006 and have helped over 30,000 of the world’s poorest people start businesses. All donations to the Guerrant Foundation go directly to Opportunity International, BRAC, or Pro Mujer.
