Technology is an essential tool for sharing expertise and connecting with broader audiences. Yet, even though you are a professional you may find yourself intimidated by the technical aspects of content production. Whether it’s video editing, navigating publishing platforms, or mastering social media promotion, the fear of technology can create significant roadblocks for you if you are looking to share their knowledge.
?
Even though I considered myself pretty good at managing technology, each time I was faced with implementing new software, I could empathize with the fears of the end users I supported. No matter how many systems I had mastered in the past, the initial encounter with a new, complex tool always brought a sense of apprehension. I understand firsthand how intimidating it can feel when a technology appears more complicated than what you are used to—how that uncertainty can quickly turn into fear of failure or frustration.
?
The more complicated the technology appeared, the more this fear showed up, both for myself and for the teams I led. But instead of letting it become a barrier, I used it as a teaching moment. I reminded myself, and others, that the fear is natural but temporary. With time and the right guidance, we could break down even the most intimidating tools into simple, manageable steps. This approach not only helped me as a leader but allowed me to create training programs that acknowledged and addressed these fears, helping end users gain the confidence to embrace the technology and use it to their advantage.
?
I can’t help but mention how I witnessed firsthand the anxiety felt by medical providers when the my former employer transitioned from paper medical records to electronic medical records (EMR). For many, the shift was more than just a technological upgrade; it was a complete overhaul of the way they managed patient information. There was a real fear that the new system would slow them down, taking precious time away from patient care. Adding to their concern, some doctors had minimal typing experience and worried about how this new technology would impact their efficiency.
?
Ultimately, our EMR training team helped them overcome these fears by teaching them that EMR systems weren’t meant to replace their expertise but to complement it. We started with small, manageable steps. My team focused on showing them how the system could streamline repetitive tasks and make information easily accessible. By highlighting how EMRs could improve patient outcomes through better record-keeping and seamless information sharing, we ?helped them see the long-term benefits. Over time, with patience and hands-on training, they grew more confident in their ability to use the technology, and many even embraced it as a valuable tool in their practice.
