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? Being in the Zoom existence that Covid-19 brought, it's easier to just stay where you are comfortable and not challenged. There are some people who help others develop the insights and courage necessary to act outside their personal and cultural comfort zones. Andy Molinsky, a Professor at Brandeis University's International Business School, is one of them. In this episode of The New Nomad, Andy joins Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski for another knowledge-filled episode about being comfortable outside your cultural comfort zone. They also shared their experiences in being out of their own comfort bubble and the good and not so good things they got from it. This episode teaches people how to adapt and adjust their behavior in a new culture - an interesting episode that brings light to cultural flexibility necessary in this digital day and age.[2:52] Working out your resilience[10:16] Creating trust and intimacy, virtually[12:16] Embracing the uncomfortable: conviction, customization, and clarity[18:59] Accepting our differences[20:22] Not everything about culture matters[25:49] Passing our stories to the next generationGUEST BIO:Andy Molinsky is a Professor at Brandeis University's International Business School, with a joint appointment in the Department of Psychology.  Andy received his Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior and M.A. in Psychology from Harvard University.

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.

In today's episode, I share a conversation with Jessica Kennett Cork, Vice President of Community Engagement and Communications at YKK Corporation of America. In this week’s episode of the podcast, Jessica Kennett Cork shares her experiences as a foreign woman working in Japanese companies, as well as her insights into how to successfully navigate cultural expectations regardless of your gender or race. She also explains how decision-making functions within Japanese companies, and why it’s so important for non-Japanese employees to cultivate “global dexterity.” Today's word: りんぎ ri-n-gi Meaning: The formal passing around of a written proposal in order to gain approval from all stakeholders within a company, typically in a bottom-up manner, that occurs in large and traditional Japanese companies.

Today our expert guest is Andy Molinsky, a Professor at Brandeis University's International Business School with a joint appointment in the Department of Psychology and the author of Reach: A New Strategy to Help You Step Outside Your Comfort Zone, Rise to the Challenge and Build Confidence.   Andy's work blends social psychology, organizational behavior, and cross-cultural communication to help people develop the insights and courage necessary to act outside their personal and cultural comfort zones when doing important (but challenging) tasks in work and life.   “Cultural differences are really important – but what's even more important is that it's really hard to take that knowledge about cultural differences and put it into action.”   So Andy developed The Cultural Code, a concept that will help you understand cultural differences in any situation or culture.   To help you pinpoint the challenges you might run into in any given situation, you can look at it through six different lenses:   Directness Enthusiasm Formality Assertiveness Self-promotion Personal disclosure   By looking at what's expected in those situations, you can find the gap between what's comfortable and what's expected – and then, with awareness around your actions, step outside of your cultural comfort zone to make things happen, if necessary.   And as technology breaks down the physical barriers between countries, businesses are also increasingly virtual and interconnected. So how can we use this understanding to create great virtual teams?   In his book Global Dexterity, Andy explains that there are three core challenges to adapting and adjusting your behavior across cultures:   Authenticity - You may not feel yourself Competence - You may even feel that people think you're bad at what you're doing Resentment - You know the old adage, “When in Rome,” but now that you're actually in Rome, you may be questioning why, exactly, you have to do as they do.   Logically, you need to adapt – but psychologically, it can be quite frustrating.   Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all version of adapting and adjusting your behaviors across cultures. You have to arm yourself with knowledge, in each situation.   “You need to find a place in that culture where you can be appropriate and effective, which is of course important if you want to achieve your goals, but without losing who you are in the process – and the way you do that is by customizing, tweaking, and finding your version!”   If you want somewhere easy to start, though, you can also check out Andy's free 10 Cultural Codes From Around the World Cheat Sheet.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway   “Take action. We can be in our heads, we can think of all the sorts of ways we might want to do something or ambitions that we might have for ourselves, but I really think there is something to taking that leap.   And I don't think you should go blind – but I do think that strategically, thoughtfully taking action and taking that leap can really be life changing.   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Today’s jam is all about stepping out of your comfort zone: why it’s challenging, how we avoid it, and how people do it successfully. Our guest, Andy Molinsky, will also share some of the surprising revelations of his research findings. Andy is the author of the books Reach and Global Dexterity, and is a professor at Brandeis University International Business School. Key Takeaways: [2:30] - Andy became interested in the topic of getting out of your comfort zone after he wrote Global Dexterity, and realized people were applying the information about acting outside of their cultural comfort zone to stepping outside of their comfort zone, period. He had been doing academic research on the topic previously as well, and it’s been something he’s struggled with personally. [4:12] - Charlie and Andy discuss Andy’s educational background, and how he went from organizational behavior to focusing more on personal behavior. Andy also talks about his academic writing versus his writing for popular audiences, and how that was a discovery about his own comfort zone. [12:30] - Some of the psychological challenges to stepping outside of your comfort zone are: authenticity, likeability, competence, resentment, and morality. There’s a wide range of context and situations where people encounter these pain points. Andy talks briefly about what each looks like. [17:00] - Moral pluralism is when different moral claims and responsibilities happen in a situation at the same time. Charlie talks about how this can come into play with each psychological challenge. [21:45] - Resentment can present itself in many different ways. Andy talks about being an employee feeling resentful that they have to step out of their comfort zone to do something that they feel they shouldn’t have to do in the first place. This can also happen with entry-level workers; often times there is an awareness that the course they’re on is necessary, but they can still be resentful that they aren’t able to do some other project or task. [25:03] - We’re very good at avoiding things, either consciously or unconsciously. There’s a bit of relief when we avoid doing something, but at the same time, putting it off until a later time is just going to make it harder to do. [28:06] - Some other avoidance strategies are rationalization, and substituting. Usually when substituting, it would result in an imperfect substitution where you opt for a different method rather than what would really be best for you to do. [32:38] - One important thing to remember is that each person handles challenges better at different points of the day. First things first doesn’t necessarily mean sequence; it can mean your first and most primal energy would be where you focus on the important tasks you need to complete. It’s not necessarily avoidance if you save it for a time you know you will be productive. [35:07] - In his research, Andy found three key things that help people get out of their comfort zones: conviction, customization, and clarity. The trio of all three seemed to increase the odds of people willing to take a leap. Conviction is finding your purpose, and understanding your why. [37:00] - Customization is the simple idea that there is no one-size-fits-all for anything. In any situation outside your comfort zone, you can tweak or customize to make the situation more comfortable for you. [41:50] - We have more power than we think, and when we adopt this thought pattern, we can leverage our creativity and experimentation to make situations more comfortable for us when we’re stepping outside our comfort zones. Creating small wins for ourselves helps put us in the position to succeed, and when we do mess up, it’s good to see those instances as learning opportunities. [46:08] - It is really critical to take a leap. Once you do take a leap, it’s important because you can learn something about yourself. You may discover that something isn’t as hard as you thought it was, or that you’re better at it than you thought you might be. When you have this experience, you may end up increasing the odds that you will try again, and build confidence and mastery. [48:48] - Andy’s challenge for listeners: Take a piece of paper and draw three circles. One circle is your comfort zone, one is your stretch zone, and the other is your terror zone. Think of 3 to 5 tasks or situations in your life that can go in each of the circles. Focus on your stretch zone and see which task or situation could be something you would really like to dedicate some effort to working on.

Tony Robbins likes to say that, "The quality of your life is in direct proportion to the amount of uncertainty you can comfortably deal with." So, let me ask you: how often do you leave your comfort zone? As tough as that can be, our guest today says it is this very practice that often leads to success. I can vouch for that. Getting laid off in 2009 was a very uncomfortable, uncertain time in my life. But I didn't cower. I didn't play the victim and I credit so much of my success today to that unexpected kick in the pants back in the day. But, back to our guest, Andy Molinksy, he's a popular professor at Brandeis University who has delivered a tremendous book on this topic called Reach: A New Strategy to Help You Step Outside Your Comfort Zone, Rise to the Challenge and Build Confidence. In it he helps people conquer the uncomfortable so they can succeed. This is Andy's second book. His first book, Global Dexterity, was a huge success receiving the Axiom Award for best business book in international business and globalization. Organizations around the world have used this book including the US Air Force Academy and the Clinton Foundation. To learn more visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

Reach: A New Strategy to Help You Step Outside Your Comfort Zone, Rise to the Challenge and Build Confidence ~ Andy Molinsky What often sets successful people apart is their willingness to do things most of us fear. What’s more, we have the false notion that successful people like to do these things, when the truth is that successful people have simply found their own way to do them. According to Andy Molinsky, an expert on behavior in the business world, there are five key challenges underlying our avoidance tendencies: authenticity, competence, resentment, likability, and morality. Does the new behavior you’re attempting feel authentic to you? Is it the right thing to do? Answering these questions will help identify the “gap” in our behavioral style that we can then bridge by using the three C’s: Clarity, Conviction, and Customization. Andy Molinsky is a Professor of International Management and Organizational Behavior at Brandeis University's International Business School, with a joint appointment in the Department of Psychology. He is also the author of the book Global Dexterity: How to Adapt Behavior Across Cultures Without Losing Yourself in the Process. Andy received his Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior and M.A. in Psychology from Harvard University. He also holds a Master's Degree in International Affairs from Columbia University and a B.A. in International Affairs from Brown University.  For more information visit: http://www.andymolinsky.com/ ************************************************* For more information about BITEradio products and services visit: http://www.biteradio.me/index.html

Andy Molinsky is a Professor at Brandeis University's International Business School, with a joint appointment in the Department of Psychology. His new book Reach discusses ways to know yourself better and break outside your comfort zone. A simple exercise you can implement today is to confront that thing you're fearing, imagine the worst case scenario, then the ideal/perfect version, then the realistic version, and decide on the probability for each of the three. Andy says that some or all of the five pain points holding you back are authenticity, likability, competence, resentment, and morality. Listen in as you can realize that thing you were procrastination doing wasn't so bad at all, and making progress will get you to break that cycle of avoidance.

It's easy to become stagnant in our comfort zones. Many of us never leave, and adapt habits, tasks, and jobs based on our default personalities. What if I told you stepping outside of your comfort zone didn't take one big leap? You can still create a life that is ever expanding, with new strategies and confidence building by taking smaller steps and creating a sense of conviction. Andy Molinsky joins us today to tell us how. Andy Molinsky is a professor of organizational behavior and psychology at Brandeis University. He regularly writes for the Harvard Business Review and has been featured in the Economist, Fast Company, The Financial Times, The Boston Globe, NPR, and the Voice of America. He has written “The Global Dexterity,” which received the Axiom Award for best business book and has been used widely in organizations across the globe! Kevin's most recent book is “Reach: A New Strategy to help You Reach Outside Your Comfort Zone, Rise to the Challenge, and Build Confidence.” WARRIOR OF COURAGE “Taking the big leap isn't the only option you have.” -Andy Molinsky Highlights - Always follow your passion and what you believe and love to do. No success in business is ever worth your reputation. It is hard to do things that make us anxious, even if they contribute to our growth. We gravitate towards habits, jobs, or tasks that align with our default personalities. There are a myriad of ways that you can customize the situation you are in. People can be afraid that others won't like this new version of themselves -- you have to let that go. Sometimes the reason for being stuck in our comfort zone is a deep fear of others not liking us.

Today's episode of As Told By Nomads is a special one as it is with cross cultural expert Andy Molinsky. Many of you will remember him from Episode 77 when he discussed Global Dexterity. Today's episode is the first part of a ten episode series highlighting the cultural codes of 10 countries. According to Andy: Most of us collaborate with teams across borders and cultures on a regular basis, whether we spend our time in the office or out on the road. And when we do, it’s essential to have a quick sense of the “code” of the new culture we’re operating in. With this in mind he developed an e-book that provides a executive summary of 10 different cultural codes that you can download here. He uses the following six-dimensional framework to capture the differences across cultures. Directness: How straightforwardly do people typically communicate in this culture? Enthusiasm: How much positive emotion and energy do they typically show? Formality: How much deference and respect do people typically... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
