Best Advice I ever received!

Want to progress in your career?

Then YOU NEED to “Be Comfortable - Being Uncomfortable” 

I was reminded yet again how this message is so important to really internalize

I first heard it over 15 years ago at a weeklong Coca-Cola Women’s Leadership program

A senior leader shared…..

“If you’re not uncomfortable, you’re not growing” 

I thought….”well I like to grow & develop”   

So I decided back then to really focus on trying to be ok with the feeling of discomfort

To Reframe the discomfort as a GIFT -- a gift of learning & growth.

I decided to focus on….

….building that… …. “Mental MUSCLE” to make the Feeling of…

…..Discomfort -- More Comfortable

It was a continuous process – but I got there!!!!!

and P.S.

 If you’re given an opportunity by leadership to tackle something big

 Know that – they chose you & believe in you

 ….SO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

And Don’t forget – you can ask for help

Figure out what could be a possible solution & approach

Then go to your trusted (& relevant) network for perspective
