Disraeli  said: “what we anticipate seldom occurs, what we least expect, generally occurs.”

That is the basis for this episode on our comfort zone. 

Andrew and Julia discuss the comfort zone model. Quite simplistically, all of us have a comfort zone that is the area in which we feel safe and secure. And these are kind of the activities we do each and every day, and quite comfortable doing them then at the next time. level we have the growth of the learning zone.

But once we step out of our comfort zone, we move into the growth and learning zone.

And that’s where we are, we acquire new skills and we develop and effectively we expand. And then finally, on the outside ring, if you imagine this is kind of three concentric circles:

Inner ring is our comfort zone

The next ring is the learning zone

The outside ring is the fear zone
