Hi! I’m Lisa Pertoso.
I founded Follow the Fear to nudge people outside their comfort zones to grow into more self-aware, creative, kick-ass humans. My story…
44% of workers need to up-skill by 2027. (eek)
Follow the Fear has your back.
We partner with L&D, HR, Talent, People, strategists, and other department heads inside organizations to design and deliver playful learning experiences that stick to drive growth, engagement, and support business goals.
We offer workshops, train-the trainers, longer programs, and interactive talks. We can jump in and deliver our ready-made experiences, or build something tailored to your team’s needs.
All experiences are skills-based (NOT boring!) for people to play, reflect, and apply to their real work.

Change is scary.
The skills we need to thrive at work aren’t technical.
How we work is changing at a rapid pace. Leaders and employees are navigating an accelerating tech and AI revolution, ever-changing consumer preferences and shifting employee values, which the COVID-19 pandemic only intensified.
Research shows that the skills we need to thrive at work now and in the future aren’t technical skills but those that make us human.
