Episode 20: Confidence Booster: Getting out of My Comfort Zone
In this video episode, I explore the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone. Drawing from my own recent experiences, I discuss how venturing into new and uncomfortable territories can foster growth and learning. I share insights from participating in a growth-focused group for accounting firm owners and attending a retreat for accounting influencers, both of which challenged me to new limits. I also issue a personal challenge for you to try something new, whether it's attending an event, starting a conversation with a stranger, or attempting a new activity. This episode marks my first foray into recording on video, and I reflect on the experience and just getting it done, not perfect.
