We all face problems in life and work. Some of these problems are small and easily solved, while others are more complex and require us to think outside the box. Antifragile Innovation coaching can help us to identify and solve the latter type of problem.…lnkd.in/gQuewB-p

Able-bodied folks treating the handicap stall like it's a 5-star hotel suite. "Wow, so spacious!" I'm outside in my wheelchair like it's a VIP club I can't get into. Hey, you want the VIP stall? Take the wheelchair and paralysis too. Enjoy the leg room! #SpaceInvaders

🌟 Hey Twitter Fam! Today, I want to share my journey, a story filled with challenges, growth, and unexpected blessings. At 4, I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, and at 21, a car accident left me paralyzed. Little did I know, these events would reshape my life.

💭 Living with these conditions meant seeking comfort became second nature. I opted for the easy way to avoid pain and discomfort. But comfort meant stagnation in thought and perspective. I was safe, yet static. 🔄 It was time for a change. Time to step into the unknown.

🤔 What does it mean to step out of your comfort zone? For me, it meant embracing discomfort. It's an unpopular choice, but what if discomfort is the doorway to wisdom? Pushing past limits, discovering new abilities, and building character - that's the beauty of the unknown. 💪

🛤️ My first adventure out of comfort was public transportation in Utah, using facilities for the physically disabled. Nervous? Absolutely. But it was a step towards independence, and it showed me there's wisdom in discomfort, strength in vulnerability. 🚌🚆

📈 Stepping out has taught me life lessons, broadened my horizons, and increased my wisdom. Challenges turned into opportunities for growth, risks introduced me to new cultures, and the unknown became a source of strength. Discomfort became my teacher. 📚

🐋 A trip to California tested my boundaries like never before. Whale watching in Dana Point was terrifying as a wheelchair user. But with support, I did it, finding joy and wisdom on the way. The adventure taught me about trust, strength, and the beauty in facing fears. 🌊

🚀 For those looking to step out and grow, understand your comfort zone. Know when to stay and when to challenge yourself. Identify the risks, make a plan, and get comfortable being uncomfortable. Growth and wisdom await on the other side of discomfort. 🌱

🧵4/ Combining mindfulness with empathy can transform how we approach our day-to-day tasks. Imagine engaging with a colleague or a loved one after truly understanding their perspective. How much more harmonious could our interactions be? #MindfulCommunication #Harmony

🧵5/ So, how do you incorporate empathy in your daily routines? Here's a simple exercise: Next time you're in conversation, focus entirely on what the other person is saying. Ignore the urge to interrupt or plan your response. Just be present. 🗣️👂 #ActiveListening #BePresent
