Growth, whether personal or professional, begins where comfort ends. In this talk, we’ll explore how stepping out of routines and embracing discomfort can catalyze transformation, drawing insights from a year of challenges, resilience, and self-discovery.

From competing in international fitness events to tackling public speaking fears and building new communities, I’ll share how taking calculated risks opened doors to growth. This includes overcoming setbacks, such as navigating a disappointing competition, and finding motivation in the drive to push forward. These experiences highlight the value of persistence, adaptability, and the courage to answer the question: “Do you want to be good or great?”

Professionally, we’ll connect these lessons to leadership and self-improvement, addressing how discomfort fosters creativity, confidence, and the ability to tackle high-stakes challenges. Whether it’s presenting at conferences, launching new ventures, or supporting others, the path to fulfillment lies in embracing change and striving for impact.

Join this session to gain practical insights into navigating challenges with resilience, cultivating a growth mindset, and thriving in both personal and professional arenas. Let’s explore how the journey to the “major leagues” can redefine success and bring dreams to life.
