The Comfort Zone Upset

Caffeinated Thought of the Week:

I’m meeting with a friend next week and I want to encourage him to step out of his comfort zone. Here is my plan of attack in 3 easy steps:

1. Start by throwing genuine compliments his way and let him know that he is making a real impact.
2. Ask some thought-provoking questions like what’s on your mind about ___, and do you feel like you’re leveraging your strengths in that area?
3. Ask if I can help in any way?
