Leaning into the Uncomfortable

Business Administration Podcast

Hey there, Business Administration podcast fam! Dr. Leslie Sukup here, and in today's episode, we're diving into the power of leaning into the uncomfortable. 💪
Let's face it - change is hard, and we all love our comfort zones. But here's the thing: by shying away from discomfort, we're missing out on countless opportunities for growth, learning, and personal development. 🌱
In this episode, I'll share a personal story from my high school years where I learned just how important it is to step out of your comfort zone. It involved impromptu speaking competitions, nerves, and a whole lot of courage. But you know what? The more I embraced the uncomfortable, the stronger I became. 🏆
Fast forward to my military career and beyond, where I continued to push myself into the unknown. And guess what? Every time I took that leap, I not only learned valuable lessons but also expanded my network and opened new doors. 🚪
Now, I share these stories with my students to show them the power of leaning into discomfort. It might be scary, it might be tough, but the personal and professional growth that awaits on the other side is undeniable. 💼
So, as you encounter those nerve-wracking opportunities that make you question if you should take the leap, ask yourself:
🌱 How can I grow from this opportunity?
🌱 What can I learn from this experience?
🌱 How can I expand my network through this challenge?
These questions will guide you towards embracing discomfort and unleashing your true potential. Believe in yourself and have the courage to lean into the uncomfortable because you are capable of incredible things! 💪
Tune in to this episode of the Business Administration podcast, and let's take on the uncomfortable together. You got this! Best wishes for your growth journey. 🎉
