[Chris walks by, noticing Jenny’s furrowed brow.]
Chris: Hey, Jenny. You’re looking intense. Everything okay with the new project?
Jenny: I’m... just not sure I’m cut out for this. I mean, what if I’m not ready to lead?
Chris: Jenny, you’re more than ready. You've got this!
[Dana steps into the scene, catching the tail end of their conversation.]

Dana: It’s okay to be scared. But remember, bravery isn’t the absence of fear; it’s moving forward despite it. What’s your heart telling you?
Jenny: That I want to do this, but I’m just so unsure.
Chris: Trust your instincts, Jenny. You’ve got a great track record.
[Jenny takes a moment to think, her fingers hovering over the keyboard. She faces a pivotal decision.]
Option 1 – Play It Safe: Jenny decides to pass the leadership role to a more experienced colleague, choosing to observe and learn from the sidelines. She feels it's safer to avoid the risk of failure, even if it means missing a growth opportunity.
Option 2 – Co-Leadership: Jenny proposes a co-leadership arrangement with a more experienced colleague. This way, she can lead while having a safety net, balancing her growth with a sense of security.
Option 3 – Full Commitment: Jenny decides to embrace the challenge head-on, leading the project herself. She acknowledges her fears but chooses to see them as a normal part of the growth process, committing to learning and adapting as she goes.
