Have you ever been in a situation where you just know there has to be a change, but you’re not sure how to either make the change yourself, or even contribute to the change? Maybe you’re at work and you can see that the processes that worked a few months or a few years ago aren’t as effective any more. There are lots of stories like that.

Do you think you’re the same person you were a year ago? Do you know what your current comfort zone is? Do you ever step outside of it? (Psst, there’s a test at the end of this article.
