261 Will You Choose Your "Oh Shit" Zone? Or Will It Choose You?
Going into the new year is the perfect time to start expanding our circles and challenging our comfort zones in order to gather more amazing stories to share.
In this episode Sarah Elkins ruminates on the year and how when we choose to challenge our own perceived limitations we will have more meaningful experiences that we will be able to share with friends both new and old.
Highlights
Surround yourself with people who will inspire you to make new memories.
Leaving your comfort zone will be worth it once you get over the initial panic.
The more risks you take, the more your tolerance for risks increases and the more you will enjoy your experiences.
Quotes
“If you don’t take risks you have a lot fewer meaningful stories to share.”
“How will you make the conscious decision to step into your Oh Sh*t Zone?”
About Sarah
"Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."
In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I’ve realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don’t realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they’re sharing them with.
My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.
The audiobook, Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available!
Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.
