What’s it all about?

Leaving our comfort zone is an art. It takes patience, perseverance, resilience, courage and a good sense of humour. But, most importantly, it takes a deep sense of knowing ourselves. With the right exit strategy, we can begin to explore our edges safely without hitting the panic button.

In order to be more creative or innovative, we must learn the skills to confidently leave our comfort zone because embedded in both of these is risk, uncertainty and failure. 

The first steps should be small and doable. In fact, it’s the only way we’ll learn, especially if we can appreciate that missteps are an inevitable, and in fact, an essential part of the learning process.

What you will learn:

  • How to identify the challenges that arise when leaving our comfort zone

  • The importance of authenticity 
  • How to manage fear + imposter syndrome
