Would you willingly step out of your comfort zone? Staying inside our “comfort zone” can make us feel safe and in control, but is it truly the best thing for us?

When we are young, it is so easy for us to try new things and get out of our comfort zone. But as we grow up, different situations happen where we start to learn to stay where we are comfortable. Perhaps we have a big failure and lose something dear to us. Maybe we do something wrong and get criticized harshly. No matter the way it happens, we become conditioned to not take risks. Today, listen to the show to hear https://www.linkedin.com/in/andymolinsky/ (Andy Molinsky) speak about his formula, The Three C’s, to reach out of your comfort zone. Get inspired to discover your conviction, customize your approach and gain clarity on what your reality might look like! Key Points from this Episode: We all have different zones: comfort, panic, learning, etc. Different tasks fall into different zones and they can change over time.  Anxiety does serve a purpose; too much might paralyze you from action but a little bit might provide the right amount of motivation for you to step outside your comfort zone. The Three C’s: Conviction, Customization and Clarity. Think about a situation that is outside of your comfort zone. First think about the why, this covers Conviction. Next you can figure out a way to make stepping outside a little easier for you, customize it. Finally establish the realistic outcomes of this step outside of your comfort zone, this provides clarity. Babies have a learning orientation, they get feedback from parents and the outcomes of what they try. Over time, we shift from learning orientation to a performance orientation.  Psychological safety plays a big part in stepping outside of comfort zones within organizations. Think about how you can contribute to your organization's psychological safety. We are really good at avoiding anything outside of our comfort zone, but if we try and reflect on what happens then every time it will get easier.  When stepping outside our comfort zones it is very common to have some kind of physical or body response (like a knot in your stomach). Normalize this!  About Andy https://www.linkedin.com/in/andymolinsky/ (Andy Molinsky) is a professor, consultant and keynote speaker. He helps individuals and teams reach their potential by learning to step outside their personal and cultural comfort zones. He is the author of two popular business books (Global Dexterity and Reach)and was recently chosen as one of Marshall Goldsmith’s Top 50 World Leaders in Coaching.

Here are some of the things we discussed during this somewhat-longer-than-usual episode: How Andy helps people get past the mindset shift it takes to reach beyond their comfort zone. The pain points that keep us in our comfort zone, preventing us from stepping outside of it (and what ones are what Andy calls “The Big Three”). What Andy learned during a “ride along” that has helped him with his work. You’ll find out if (and how far) Andy went outside of his comfort zone when writing Reach. What the 3 Cs approach is and how it helps you reach outside of your comfort zone How both of us use avatars and triggers to help us do things that are uncomfortable...or things that we may feel as if we're not ready to challenge.

Something that has been making it's way into my awareness A LOT lately is the difference between familiarity and comfort. The language we use to describe thoughts and emotions is massively powerful and can create a mental and emotional state of stop or go. In the personal development space there is a lot of talk about the comfort zone and how we need to step out of our comfort zone where all the magic happen. I had Andy Molinsky on the show back at episode 85 to talk about his book Reach, which is a very well written book on how to strategically step outside your comfort zone. The strategies he outlines are fantastic and very useful, and what I dive into today is how our comfort zone is anything but comfortable. Let's call it a bit of a meta concept if you will. The objective of getting out of your comfort zone is to achieve your goals, create change, and experience results that you want. Clearly we have to take new actions to experience a different result, but the analogy of the comfort zone didn't do it for me. It was almost as if I was just trading one frazzled state for another. When I thought about this deeper, it made more sense... it doesn't seem like a worth while trade. After being with it for a little while I started to see the distinction more clearly. What I was calling my comfort zone wasn't comfortable at all. It was actually creating a lot of collateral damage and unnecessary pain. It wasn't that it was comfortable, it was just familiar. One of the biggest distinctions that helped me "get out of my comfort zone" was beginning to approach it with curiosity and through the lens of exploring the unfamiliar. After you tune in to today's show, come over to the show notes and let me know what you think in the comments below. http://jeffa.co/118

The comfort zone: we all have one, but not all of us manage to leave it. If you’re in business, it's not just healthy to evolve beyond what you’re used to. It's necessary! Your products, your skills, your work ethic; all of these things matter.

Welcome to Minisode Monday, where we kick off the week with something quick and actionable -- to make you more magnetic and effective -- that you can implement right away. This week, Reach author Andy Molinsky rejoins us to talk about the creative ways we manage avoidance of things we don't want to do -- and what we can do to break the habit. Let's get to it! The Cheat Sheet: Avoid the task entirely. Structuring our lives around the tasks we want to avoid. Example: staying away from networking events, even if we know we could benefit from going to them. Doing the task, but only part way. Accomplishing the part of a task that's slightly more comfortable than the rest of it. Example: Going to a networking event, but making an excuse for leaving early. Replacing the task. Convincing ourselves that doing an easier task makes up for the task we don't want to do. Example: Being active in social media because we don't want to go to networking events. Procrastinating. Putting off tasks so we can avoid doing them until later (or possibly never). Example: Not responding to networking event invitations in time to actually make the events. Passing the buck. Having someone else do the task we don't want to do. Example: Sending an assistant to the networking event we'd rather avoid. Rationalizing that the task's not important anyway. Example: Telling ourselves we don't need networking events because our own hard work will ensure success.
