Overcoming resistance to change…<\/em><\/h3>\nStretch your comfort zone \u2026 New experiences usually involve some healthy tension. Why don\u2019t we learn to color outside the lines? In school we are rewarded only if we do things the way we\u00a0are supposed to do them. No one teaches us how important it is to make mistakes.<\/p>\n
I take my audience on a journey, sharing some of my challenges, adventures and learnings: participating in \u2018Survivor\u2019, travel in 100 countries, being \u2018fired\u2019 from my own country for traveling too much, living off the grid etc.<\/p>\n
We all know that you get to know your strengths and weaknesses best by trial and error. Therefore this presentation includes a surprise workshop element. Participants experience the \u2018comfort zone resistance\u2019 first-hand when suddenly placed in an unfamiliar situation. A great team builder! Debriefing afterwards brings up the most valuable insights and lessons for the participants.<\/p>\n
In short, I will show that\u00a0comfort zone gymnastics will make you strong. I will teach you to recognize the signs of your defense system \u2026 and ignore them. That is entrepreneurship!<\/p>\n<\/div>
