About this topic

You’ve heard the adage that there is no growth in your comfort zone – it’s true, by its very definition learning requires us to venture into the ‘new’ and tangle with the unknown. But it’s also a perfect example of a phrase that’s easier said than done.

Staying within familiar boundaries may offer a sense of security, but it also limits creativity and stifles adaptability. Research consistently underscores this point, demonstrating that the act of stepping out of our comfort zones triggers a significant boost in performance. This intentional discomfort acts as a catalyst, compelling us to explore uncharted territories and continuously expand our capabilities.

For leaders, this dynamic process is a strategic approach to enhancing both individual growth and overall leadership effectiveness in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Drawing from her own extraordinary ‘Year of Fear,’ where she confronted fears daily, and leveraging insights from guiding countless leaders through the process since, Holly not only shares her personal insights but also introduces a proven methodology. A tried-and-true approach to help you venture out of your comfort zone and build your ‘courage zone’ muscle.

Get ready to redefine your limits and embark on a transformative adventure into the heart of courage.
