Ever feel that flutter of nerves when an unexpected leadership opportunity lands on your desk? You're not alone. In this episode, Melissa and Rachel dive into the art of comfort zone "stretchiness" – that sweet spot between playing it safe and pushing yourself too far.
They explore why those scary, icky feelings that come with stretch assignments are actually signs you're growing, and share practical strategies for building your "hard things" muscle without burning out. Just like learning to ride a bike or drive a car, stepping into leadership requires practice – and yes, a little discomfort along the way.

You'll discover how to recognize when you're stretching just enough versus when you might be heading toward a breaking point, plus why starting with small stretches can lead to big career wins. Whether you're actively seeking your next career move or suddenly find new responsibilities dropped in your lap, mastering comfort zone stretchiness is essential for thriving as an administrative professional.
Ready to discover what's possible when you step beyond your desk – and your comfort zone?
