It's easy to become stagnant in our comfort zones. Many of us never leave, and adapt habits, tasks, and jobs based on our default personalities. What if I told you stepping outside of your comfort zone didn't take one big leap? You can still create a life that is ever expanding, with new strategies and confidence building by taking smaller steps and creating a sense of conviction. Andy Molinsky joins us today to tell us how.

Andy Molinsky is a professor of organizational behavior and psychology at Brandeis University. He regularly writes for the Harvard Business Review and has been featured in the Economist, Fast Company, The Financial Times, The Boston Globe, NPR, and the Voice of America. He has written "The Global Dexterity," which received the Axiom Award for best business book and has been used widely in organizations across the globe! Kevin's most recent book is "Reach: A New Strategy to help You Reach Outside Your Comfort Zone, Rise to the Challenge, and Build Confidence."
