Moving beyond our comfort zone is how we can best learn and
grow.
To develop the courage to take a leap, and the skill and ability
to actually pull it off:
Understand what’s in it for you to motivate yourself. Brainstorm how working on this tough behaviour — networking,
perhaps, or public speaking — can advance your career or help you reach other
goals.
Then, customise a plan to take control of a situation instead of
being overwhelmed by it. If, for example, you’re an introvert who
dreads networking events, instead of feeling pressured to meet everyone, focus
on a few people and actually try to get to know them, or aim to make initial
contacts with the goal of following up in a more comfortable setting.
