Why Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone Defines Your Leadership

When you're a leader, the role isn't confined to the office. Recently, I was asked to step up in a completely new capacity: officiating the wedding of a beautiful couple who I introduced.

Standing before 150 of their family and friends, I valued the trust they placed in me to capture their story, manage the energy, and deliver a memorable experience. It was a completely different kind of pressure than any work presentation.

Every time I lean into a moment that demands presence, authenticity, and command, I am honing the very skills we help our clients develop. We can only ask others to trust their voice when we consistently dare to use our own, no matter the stage.
