FEAR - Feel Excited And Rise

[@arlinegeorge6967]

Accidents or magical Mysteries drive few people out of their comfort zone. Great great talk . Desire is bigger. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

Neale Donald Walsh said, "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." Most folks recognize that personal growth escalates outside their comfort zone. Yet, fear often wins and impedes. You gave three practical ways to step into the person you must become. Another excellent TEDx. Thanks, Corey!

This was very interesting to watch - one of the things I find the hardest is Change - so stepping outside my comfort zone is so scary - I like the idea of a chart because I am a person who loves to be organized - I will have to make my own chart - Thanks Corey

Great Job... I know many individuals that can use this presentation. Basically "Comfort Zone" means without stress... but as we take our turn here on this earth we all want to be happy and have joy in our lives. So you actually need "stress" in your life to grow stronger and wiser. Steel becomes stronger when it is stressed and pounded into a weapon for the warrior that we all have within each of us. Keep the bellows full and the fire within you hot to temper your success.

I love the idea of the WHY being the greatest motivator. Also loved the diagram of what is outside of comfort zone. It seems a lot easier to tackle when you see it in a drawing. :) Great job and congrats!

Thank you Corey, great break down of your three strategies for facing fears and stepping outside the comfort zone. Your humour and personal anecdotes made for a fun and informative presentation.

[@jenniferastelzig3433]

That was great! I was caught up in your story the whole time. PS - What was with every single woman in the front row being on their phone at least once???

I so resonate with not going it alone and sharing your dreams and goals in a group. Stats indicated that 70% of people who do share their dreams and goals with others are 70% more likely to achieve them. Thank you for sharing what you do. ;)

I tell my clients that if they do the small things consistently, the big ng takes care of itself. I take my goal and break it down into the smallest of tasks and then tick them off as I go. With each "tick" your confidence increases and you work that much harder to get the big thing taken care of. So forget this "big scary" goal and concentrate on the baby steps and you can achieve anything!

I love this talk Corey! Such relatable advice.

[@CoreyPoirier]

Thanks ever so much @Satya - so appreciated :-)

Hi Corey, in your email, you requested feedback be left below the video. First of all, thank you for your presentation. I know so well about the fear of pubic speaking, in fact, we met at Dexio 2015 and I presented you with my book; Corey OutSMARTs the Butterflies. :) I appreciated your personal stories and how you overcame your discomfort. You used real life examples, illustrated how you came out of your comfort zone and also referenced people we all know and some who were either people you interviewed or those who also overcame the fear. A few suggestions. When you talked about Arlene, I'm not sure you mentioned her as from the Dragon's Den. When you made reference to your sketches, it's not necessary to belittle yourself (saying: I guess you knew who drew them). They made a point, they were simple and effective. I might also suggest using I should have gone, rather than I should have went. Overall you shared a very relevant message that in a world where people rather text than talk, can help them open a door to many possibilities. Congrats.

We all leave our comfort zone when we die. So why leave it sooner? There is no need to.
