The Value of Stepping Outside of Your Comfort Zone
May 16th, 2008 by Dan Blank
We all live in bubbles.
Bubbles that protect and comfort us.
That are filled with familiar people, places and processes.
But these same bubbles have another side.
That keeps us from exploring.
Keeps us from growing.
Keeps us from learning that there are other ways.
Other people who are foreign… yet brilliant.
Other ideas that are strange… yet valuable.
Other places that are remote… yet filled with wonder.
As we look for success in our business and careers…
To expand our world… and that of our customers and readers,
To wake up tomorrow with opportunity and possibility.
There is only one action we can take to ensure this success…
It’s simple. It all starts with a sound.
Pop!
Hello Dan,
I work for Elsevier (the STM Publisher) in the Health Sciences Publishing Division. I am organising an innovation session in September with a team of people. As an inspirational introduction, I wanted to use your text and pictures (the value of stepping out of your comfort zone), would that be OK with you? The audience is just 15 Elsevier people.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Sandra de Gelder
