Send us a message and let us know what content had impact, and what content may have missed the mark, and why.I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Anishnaabeg Algonquin People.We all like to live in our comfort zone.  It’s warm and comfortable there.  The comfort zone is calm and relaxing, and that’s because in the comfort zone, we are the experts, the masters of our domain.The challenge for emerging leaders is that being a new leader, or when we’re brought into a new team, most often, this change pushes us outside our comfort zones, forcing us to feel uncomfortable, making us question ourselves and our ability to be the leader.And so, in this episode, you’ll hear from Nicolene Elhadad, a business and franchise strategist, who will describe her journey of living outside her comfort zone and how this unsettling feeling gave her power and insight to achieve her goals in a healthy manner. Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been listed in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts in 2021.Reviews are the best way for us to know what we are doing right, what we are doing wrong, and what we should talk about in the future, so please click on the links below and let us know if this episode was helpful.Nicolene’s Links:1.
