What are comfort zones? These are psychological barriers, which prevent us to do anything not familiar. Why do we need to comeout of these ? To grow, to become free, to enjoy our life more. In professional life, to gain more leadership capabilities.
Most common comfort zones, preventing us to be a great leader are:
a. Public Speaking
b. Making our point, selling ourselves
c. Talking to strangers
d. Taking up risks
e. Taking Criticism, getting feedback
f. Giving Criticism, giving feedback
g. Being straight, Saying No
How to come out of comfort zone? I think first thing we need to do is Believe, believe that we can do it. How to make your mind believe the unthinkable? Once in a while do outrageous things, adventures, like tracking difficult terrains, running marathon etc. More than physical it is a mental training. This will give us mental power to believe that we can do beyond what we think we can. Increase your stamina and confidence.
Once you start doing adventurous things, and have some confidence, take up the point which you think you cannot do. Write down or discuss with somebody, why you cannot do. Write down the reasons. Overcome those reasons one by one. Practice the thing which you think you cannot do.
