Increasing Employee & Client Engagement

It is Motivational Friday.  If you do what you have always done, then how can you expect different results because you will get what you have always got.

It is so easy to fall into the trap of your comfort zone and status quo… The biggest problem is there is no such thing as status quo. As I have mentioned, you are either getting better or worse. If you are not getting better than your competition will be and they are closing the gap.

The only way to grow is to go to the outer edges… Step outside your comfort zone. Yes things may feel awkward. Everything new does. Fear is going to set in. The what-if’s will creep in. Fear of the unknown has the ability to paralyze you if you let it.

Instead, you have to embrace the outer edges… Even more than embracing it, you have to seek the edge. You will learn not only new and powerful things, you will learn more about yourself. I promise it will not be easy. You may take a step back before you take two leaps forward.

We need to envision ourselves as muscle tissue… Muscle tissue is built by being broken down with minuscule tears and then repairs itself bigger & stronger. Muscle also hits plateaus. It gets used to patterns and routines and adjusts to it. To continue to grow, it requires change & variety in workout called muscle confusion.

At the edges is the place for biggest growth. So take it to the edges.
