00:00:07
will evidently help you make one discovery
00:00:10
after another while also better managing periods
00:00:13
and situations of stress and change.
00:00:17
You will be accustomed to facing unusual situations
00:00:20
that require adaptability and self-confidence.
00:00:24
In this second part of comfort zone,
00:00:31
and gains we get from stepping out of the known and routine zone.
00:00:36
Let's start with the antidotes to come out of the comfort zone.
00:00:41
What does stimulate us to the point where we go beyond natural mind risk aversion
00:00:47
to go and explore an unknown world,
00:00:50
an uncontrolled world,
00:00:52
to have new experiences?
00:00:56
Do certain people easily make a step towards newness
00:01:00
where some others stay sclerotic in their routine,
00:01:04
remain in years for the same job,
00:01:07
spend their vacation in the same place,
00:01:09
and never make new friendships,
00:01:12
always repeating the same things in the same ways.
00:01:15
The antidote number one is confidence,
00:01:18
confidence in oneself
00:01:20
and confidence in life.
00:01:22
I believe in myself.
00:01:24
I know I'll know how to face whatever challenges come my way,
00:01:29
and there will always be challenges when we explore a new road.
00:01:34
I believe in myself.
00:01:36
I'll know how to bounce.
00:01:38
I'll know how to face critiques and failures.
00:01:42
I'll know how to take a step back when I took a wrong step
00:01:46
without feeling guilty and ashamed.
00:01:50
I believe in myself.
00:01:55
I would believe in myself,
00:01:56
and even though I don't succeed,
00:01:58
it would still have been a good experience.
00:02:02
Those who say they believe in themselves and think failure out of the question
00:02:07
are unconscious.
00:02:09
Those who say they believe in themselves,
00:02:12
while admitting that failure is a possibility
00:02:15
and it will be fertile,
00:02:18
Those ones don't necessarily push towards change.
00:02:22
They follow their natural flow.
00:02:25
The natural flow
00:02:26
that brings life and professional turning points that
00:02:30
puts intuition and desire in everybody's heart.
00:02:35
are above all open to change.
00:02:38
In a corporate personality test that I often give to managers and executives,
00:02:43
multiple items concern this capacity to step out of the comfort zone.
00:02:49
Freedom of action,
00:02:50
sense of challenge,
00:02:52
curiosity of mind,
00:02:54
resistance of stress,
00:02:56
capacity to step out of conformist ideas.
00:03:00
Self-confidence and openness are what push people outside of their comfort zone.
00:03:06
To dare launch a new product,
00:03:08
to dare delegate a new mission to a young collaborator,
00:03:11
to change the routine of service meetings,
00:03:14
propose to the hierarchy a transversal project.
00:03:18
Dare to change supplier,
00:03:19
dare to expand telecommuting
00:03:22
with self-confidence comes also the precious gift of resilience,
00:03:27
capacity to bounce forward in spite of difficulties,
00:03:33
Mandela always said I never lose.
00:03:36
Either I win or I learn.
00:03:39
The second antidote,
00:03:40
connect with your intuition.
00:03:43
When an intuition,
00:03:44
a desire for change,
00:03:46
makes its way in you,
00:03:47
even in the way you report with your hierarchy,
00:03:51
collaboration among services,
00:03:53
or the after sales service process,
00:03:55
our mind or a peer's mind
00:03:58
makes fast paces to tell us that it's not the right thing,
00:04:01
that it'll be too complicated.
00:04:05
to muffle our inclination to change,
00:04:08
our creative flow is killed before the egg is hatched.
00:04:12
Personal development helps to reconnect with one's intuition,
00:04:19
To listen to what we really want
00:04:22
and establish a concrete strategy to transform
00:04:25
these intuitions and desires to achievable objectives.
00:04:30
That's how I accompany my coaches.
00:04:33
Sometimes I ask them to define
00:04:35
what their department would ideally look like in 3 years,
00:04:39
and then we work to develop a strategy around that
00:04:43
bypassing auto censorship,
00:04:45
obstacles and fears.
00:04:47
I love asking this question.
00:04:49
What would you do if you were no longer afraid?
00:04:53
How would you transform your work,
00:04:55
your department,
00:04:56
lead your job restructuring if you were not afraid,
00:05:00
not afraid of failure,
00:05:01
not afraid of rejection,
00:05:03
not afraid of being fired.
00:05:05
Move forward with one's fears.
00:05:08
That's my third antidote.
00:05:11
some fears are raised themselves easily.
00:05:13
Others last at least for a while.
00:05:16
If we wait until we're no longer afraid,
00:05:20
As long as we have not integrated our internal fearful aspects,
00:05:26
there will always be a small or a big voice in us that says,
00:05:32
Of course we are afraid of stepping out of one's comfort zone.
00:05:37
The unknown is scary.
00:05:40
Many people are afraid of starting a new job,
00:05:43
speaking in public,
00:05:45
meeting an important client.
00:05:47
Human beings are vulnerable when they stand in
00:05:49
a zone where they don't control everything.
00:05:52
Moving forward with one's fears is a way to find
00:05:56
so that fears neither stop us from acting nor make us step backwards.
00:06:01
Personal development helps in this.
00:06:04
Stepping out of one's comfort zone is finding a new.
00:06:07
Grip on one's life,
00:06:09
making the desire for change jump over the barrier of fears.
00:06:14
The adventure of life starts where our comfort zone ends.
00:06:18
Inside the comfort zone we imitate and repeat.
00:06:23
Outside of the comfort zone,
00:06:27
we develop ourselves.
00:06:29
Antidote number 4 reality shock.
00:06:32
When neither self-confidence nor connection with inner desires have
00:06:37
helped us step out of our comfort zone,
00:06:41
The reality shock.
00:06:42
A reality shock can take many forms sufferance and overflow.
00:06:50
This must change.
00:06:51
I need to get out of there.
00:06:53
It's no longer possible.
00:06:55
We can no longer function with this mindset.
00:06:59
We cannot accept to work under these conditions with this client.
00:07:03
I can no longer go to work with this stress not in the stomach every morning.
00:07:10
Things are becoming so bad
00:07:12
that that is a wake up call.
00:07:15
I'm ready to step out of my comfort zone,
00:07:18
of my control zone,
00:07:20
in order to save myself.
00:07:22
These situations arrive when we have resisted the natural flow of change for days.
00:07:29
we end up realizing
00:07:31
that it is our refusal of change,
00:07:34
refusal of exploring life outside our comfort zone
00:07:38
that is ruining our life.
00:07:40
We cannot stand it anymore,
00:07:41
so we jump the bridge a little later,
00:07:44
but it's never too late.
00:07:46
Run for your life outside your comfort zone towards something new.
00:07:51
The reality shock that brings us outside of our comfort zone can take another form,
00:07:57
an ultimate form,
00:08:00
the imposed breakup,
00:08:02
the wave of change so strong
00:08:05
that it breaks our fears and resistance.
00:08:08
We find ourselves undergoing an imposed reorganization by the management.
00:08:13
Undergoing a relocation,
00:08:21
a tidal wave comes at us.
00:08:23
Those are difficult breakups
00:08:26
that will usually break the barriers that we thought were impenetrable.
00:08:31
In the second part of this video,
00:08:33
let's talk about two voluntary strategies to step out of one's comfort zone.
00:08:41
take small steps.
00:08:43
What first tiny steps can you make to step out of your daily comfort zone?
00:08:48
Take a shared ride to work,
00:08:50
have lunch with a former colleague.
00:08:53
Express your idea during a meeting.
00:08:56
Review your work organization or join a professional network,
00:09:00
or maybe attend some public speaking training.
00:09:03
Join the digitalization working group.
00:09:06
Go to the swimming pool during your lunch break.
00:09:09
Choose little actions that will trigger a desire and nourish a value.
00:09:14
Make a step outside of your comfort zone,
00:09:18
and celebrate your victories.
00:09:21
You spoke in a meeting.
00:09:22
Have a drink with your spouse.
00:09:24
Please don't be in a moralizing dictator mood,
00:09:28
saying it's about time I speak up in a meeting.
00:09:31
I finally did it,
00:09:32
but what I said was uninteresting.
00:09:36
I finally did it.
00:09:38
Here's a challenge I've finally won.
00:09:40
Next time I'll be even more comfortable and more impactful.
00:09:44
Baby steps should be celebrated.
00:09:48
I managed to call an angry client.
00:09:51
I used this collaborative tool.
00:09:56
is a leap into the void.
00:09:58
a leap of faith will be the best strategy to come out of their comfort zone.
00:10:03
Do you want to change your position in a company,
00:10:06
announce to your hierarchy that in 6 months from
00:10:09
now you'd like to transfer from your position to another
00:10:13
and organize your departure.
00:10:15
You can no longer step back.
00:10:17
Do you want to find a new house?
00:10:19
Terminate your lease.
00:10:20
Do you want to organize a team building with your team?
00:10:23
Announce the date for the meeting.
00:10:25
Even if you don't know either the budget nor the content,
00:10:28
a leap into the void is taking action
00:10:32
or an announcement that will make it hard to step back.
00:10:35
It's being smarter than our fears and our procrastination tendencies.
00:10:43
You're longing for change,
00:10:44
but you're scared.
00:10:46
You don't know if you're capable of it
00:10:48
or if you'd know how to do it.
00:10:50
Find yourself some models,
00:10:52
people who did it or know how to do what you're planning to do.
00:10:58
people who know how to reframe
00:11:01
or how are creative or who delegate with assurance,
00:11:05
model their behavior.
00:11:08
Modeling is the process of recreating excellence.
00:11:14
successful managers who don't work over 40 hours a week.
00:11:17
How do they do it?
00:11:19
Who are your models?
00:11:21
Mentoring is sometimes organized by HR departments.
00:11:25
Nothing stopping you from asking a person to become your mentor
00:11:29
during a limited period
00:11:31
or on a certain project.
00:11:33
You will be the manager of two departments that are merging.
00:11:36
A mentor will help you.
00:11:38
You admire the sense of strategy and risk taking of a manager,
00:11:42
get inspired from them
00:11:44
and develop the same qualities.
00:11:46
What is out of your comfort zone is within Paul's comfort zone.
00:11:51
Get inspired from him and ask him for advice.
00:11:57
outside the comfort zone is a magical zone,
00:12:00
a virgin experience zone where everything can happen.
00:12:04
Failure certainly,
00:12:06
which isn't but a learning opportunity
00:12:08
but also extraordinary and unexpected things
00:12:12
in this magical zone.
00:12:14
Synchronicities and self-realization emerge.
00:12:18
We will find new ways and we will become someone else.
00:12:23
But for this to happen,
00:12:24
we must dare to lose control and self-control while being fully conscious.
00:12:30
In this state of mindfulness,
00:12:33
we will discover what we can be in a zone of experience,
00:12:38
while being confident,
00:12:39
laid back and relaxed.
00:12:42
That is my final word.
00:12:44
We can go out of our comfort zone,
00:12:46
otherwise known as the zone of the known,
00:12:49
all while being comfortable,
00:12:51
happy and relaxed.
00:12:53
We can explore the unknown in all comfort.
