In this episode of The IGNITE Show I'm chatting with Jenny Ross.

Our topic is The truth about your comfort zone.

We cover:

The Comfort Zone - Jenny talks about being in her role for 16yrs, feeling bored, being taken for granted, seeing a lack of opportunity and progression, and thinking that the easy option was to stay with what she knew.  She 'thought' that she'd have to move to Milton Keynes which she didn't want to do, that she was indispensable, and 'hoped' that 'someone' would do something about it her situation.

Limiting beliefs - We uncovered Jenny's belief's to be that: no-one would hire her after being somewhere for 16 years, that her role was niche so not likely to exist somewhere else, that it would be difficult being new somewhere else, and that even if she did move it wouldn’t be any different somewhere else

Realisation - Jenny learned that these are mistaken beliefs - because: Once she made the decision to look for something else she was offered 2 jobs in the space of a week!  She has now secured a new role and 3 months in is seeing so many benefits like having access to an annual promotion scheme, progression opportunities, in a head office v satellite office - more possibility than she ever had before.  She says: ’The story I’d been telling myself just wasn’t true’!  

Moral of the story - 1) nothing changes unless you do 2) hope isn’t a strategy 3) Focus on what you have to gain and it just might happen!
