Don't Let Fear Stop You

Stepping outside your comfort zone doesn't feel good. In fact, it can feel overwhelming and quite uncomfortable. But if you are aware that this will be the case, you'll find it easier to test the waters.

We need to be willing to take some risks—what I call "smart" and calculated ones. I usually say to women, "I am not asking you to jump into a pool where there is no water. But when things line up and your head and your heart are in sync, it is time to jump."

These days, I take so many risks that I feel a lot of anxiety. But I realize that I'm in a growth spurt because I feel that way. 

Our motto, ladies: Get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

At work, let's create our own Olympic challenges and dare to go where we haven't gone before.
