The Discomfort Zone
Marcia Reynolds, PsyD and Master Certified Coach, is the president of Covisioning, a leadership training and coaching agency that assists corporations in bringing out the best in their employees. She has four novels to her credit, including Outsmart Your Brain and Wander Woman.
You want people to push themselves, yet your talks with them frequently fall flat or backfire, producing more resistance than growth. Marcia Reynolds, a top leadership coach, provides a technique for exploiting the Discomfort Zone—the moment when the mind is most open to learning—to inspire individuals to think through challenges, understand circumstances more strategically, and transcend their boundaries.
Reynolds demonstrates how to ask questions that short-circuit the brain's protection mechanisms and habitual thought processes, based on new discoveries in the biology of learning. Instead of being told, people can see for themselves the intelligent and often deep solutions to the problems that are impeding their advancement. The exercises and case studies will teach you how to use discomfort in your dialogues to effect long-term change and an energized workforce.
