Comfort is all about staying safe. It is all about things being predictable and life without demands. Comfort can be a very good thing – unless you want to grow and succeed in life. Comfort keeps us where we are, giving us no reason to challenge ourselves, learn new things, or discover what we're capable of doing.

Imagine what your life would be like if you could teach yourself to enjoy a little Discomfort now and again.

Getting out of the comfort zone requires self-leadership. I can support you with my 1:1 coaching or my group coaching program. GLOW UP!

To be an effective leader, you must first be a leader of yourself. Belief in yourself is a tremendous asset to leadership. Your words and your actions can lead others to great heights – but only if you believe that you, too, have powers that are strong and which you strive to develop. To be an example for effective leadership and to make others want to follow, you must develop the following qualities of leadership within yourself: Stand for something – Be an example for others – Be a mentor – Always be on a path of self-discovery.

All leaders must take a journey within and discover their values and why those are their values. You can’t become a leader from a place of weakness. Internal guidance is necessary to navigate through the obstacles in life and bring you to ultimate success.
