It makes me uncomfortable so it must be the right thing to do

Stretch yourself


I said this yesterday during a meeting. It was great for me to admit it, but it was even greater for me to see that the people sitting across from me… completely understood and supported the concept of me being out of my comfort zone.

When I worked in corporate America, there was an unspoken policy that in order to be promoted, one had to have been successful in a “stretch” assignment. A stretch assignment is one that is not just out of your comfort zone, but beyond your current skill/experience level.

As the new year approaches, I encourage you to come along with me. 1.Surround yourself with positive and supportive people.

2.Do something that makes you uncomfortable.

Stretch yourself and let’s see where 2014 takes us.

Cheers!
