Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone
Feeling bored at work? Is the thrill gone? Maybe it is time to get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Maybe what you need are some new challenges. That’s the advice in Career Journal.
As a practicing lawyer, the new challenge may simply be working on a new type of transaction or litigation. Perhaps the new challenge for you is writing some articles, speaking before industry groups, developing a new area of expertise or building relationships with potential referral sources (all steps in building a practice, something my colleague Suzanne Howe wrote about yesterday.)
But the new challenge can also be something larger like pursuing a lateral move to a firm that has a different kind of work. Maybe getting out of your comfort zone means taking on a combined business and legal role for a corporation.
So what are you doing to get “out of the zone”?
