For sure, pushing ourselves too far can land us in an anxiety zone. In between lies the <strong>learning zone, where we\u2019re stretching ourselves and learning to redeploy, adapt, grow<\/strong> and in so doing, enrich ourselves. For example, speaking in public to a large audience can land us in the anxiety zone, but taking the initiative to lead a small group discussion or meeting can be a great learning experience.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, when making a change in our careers or lives we move from ending to new beginning through a neutral zone, according to William Bridges\u2019 model. Whether we choose the career chapter ending or it has been imposed upon us, this experience can be emotionally painful. Before moving on to a new beginning, it\u2019s important to realize we enter a <strong>neutral zone, which can be rich in clues for our next steps<\/strong>. In the neutral zone, like at the edge of town, clues appear. What can you learn from people you meet?
