Leadership

Get out your comfort zone

Being a leader can lead to uncomfortable situations — from failed product launches to poor team performance.

So, get used to being uncomfortable.

To practice: push yourself to leave your comfort zone once a day for 6 months.

You'll adapt faster than you think.

Storytelling

Language! 

When telling a story to an audience, use language that they'd use.

A unique turn of phrase or a slang term that the audience recognises will make your story more relatable.

And the most memorable stories are the ones we can relate to.
