The world is changing at a speed and scale never seen before. How we approach change—both the externally imposed changes (technology, climate change, and now COVID-19) and the internally motivated desire for our own growth—is more important than ever. It is time to shake up the way we feel about change.

Comfort Zone-Shake-Up is a catalyst to explore, experiment, and expand our comfort zones. The conventional outlook is that life begins at the end of your comfort zone—that change requires jumping out of that space where you feel comfortable and in control. Comfort Zone Shake-Up challenges that assumption, building on the idea that we can train to embrace change by expanding from within our comfort zones through creating a growth mindset and daily habits that can create macro-level change from micro-level actions. It provides motivation and encouragement to begin understanding our feelings about change, to define our most important priorities, and to create better lives for ourselves by taking action to induce change.
