Today I want to tell you guys about one of my favorite memories with my teammates.
I’m always looking for ways to push my leaders to the next level. So a couple of years ago, I took some of my top-level leaders to the Catalyst conference in California. It was actually a leadership conference for church leaders, but I believe what we do can mimic pastoral work!
We also went and took trapeze lessons! I was so excited! What a fun way to push ourselves and try something scary!
This was LEGIT trapeze on Santa Monica Pier right on the ocean! You have to go through a safety course and everything! The first few times you climb up there and a trapeze artist throws you the swing and you have to catch the bar swing and go! Then they teach you how to drop properly. Then you get to do it again and you can wrap your legs around the bar and hang down and swing! The third time through you swing on your bar and the other trapeze artist grabs your legs and YOU LET GO!!! Whoa! I loved it! I love doing new and exciting things, but I also LOVE watching my friends and leaders do new and scary things! They had new confidence after that carried into their business and lives!
Anytime you push yourself to do something hard, you GROW! We hear the phrase “comfort zone” all the time. And it’s lost its meaning after hearing it SO much! But really the growth does come when you’re out of your normal! I’m rereading the Secret Code of Success by Noah St. John which is an amazing book for growth! There are so many things he discusses that really hit home and make you think about where you’re holding back in your business. He brings up that instead of a “comfort zone” it’s really a “familiar zone”. It’s what you’re used to! People have said to me “I can’t imagine ever doing public speaking” or “I could NEVER talk about something like that online”. But… THEY CAN! I did! Those were two things that were very unfamiliar to me. But man, did I GROW from them! If they push themselves out of that familiar they could do ANYTHING they wanted to! If you want to be successful you’ve got to do some things that aren’t familiar to you! Let’s get out of your familiar zone!!!
