This Week in Procurement: Sprinting Outside Your Comfort Zone

By October 20, 2017February 23rd, 2020No Comments

When was the last time that you pursued a challenge that was outside of your comfort zone?

Arguably, success or failure in these rapidly changing times will be defined by adaptability and a willingness to jump into projects or situations that may feel uncomfortable – all in the name of progress.  (personally, getting outside my comfort zone was a major reason why I started Art of Procurement a couple of years ago).  It is for that reason that I tagged this article, based on a conversation with ultra-athlete Samantha Gash, as my “must read”.

Samantha, a former corporate lawyer, shares her tips on building the mindset to succeed where others may have failed.

Check out the article, and many, many more (we have a bumper edition!) in this week’s This Week in Procurement
