Words That Inspire - STRETCH

Quantify your STRETCH.

Dictionary says:
To extend, to reach out; a continuous period of time; a walk to relieve fatigue.

What it REALLY means:
Thinking, doing or going beyond self-imposed limitations, or limitations set by others. Seeing, imagining, acting or creating in new ways that enhance and expand your work and life.

Why it MATTERS?
STRETCHing takes you out of your comfort zone and leads to growth. STRETCHing eliminates boredom and revitalizes creativity. Like a physical STRETCH, the discomfort leads to greater movement, flexibility and reach.

STRETCH in Action:
Rebecca has been dissatisfied with her marketing job for over 15 months. She complains to her friends and continues with the status quo. As she has felt fearful of change, hesitant to discuss her concerns with others and professionally stagnant, her STRETCH includes 1) speaking with her boss to make her aware of ways to enhance the office environment, 2) seeking out and designing more creative projects with her colleagues and 3) updating her resume, researching alternative career opportunities and networking with potential employers.
