Stuck Inside the Comfort Zone
• Small Children seem naturally to move outside
their comfort zone…this is why so much learning
goes on in the early years.
• As they get older, they become more reluctant to
wander into uncharted territory…
• 1. Fear Of OPO’s…we often think our value and
worth come from other people, we do those things
that will gain the approval of others, and avoid
those things that will garner their disapproval
• We walk around with Athena's on our heads and
zero in on what others approve of and what they
don’t
• KENDRA
• Other OPO are powerful…especially in our
students’ lives.
• Top 20 teachers help their students make decisions
about OPOs based on Best interest
Stuck Inside the Comfort Zone
• 2. Fear of Failure…Failure is something we do;
not who we are…it is a necessary part of every
person’s natural
development…babies...crawling…potential to
crawl is developed into their ability to crawl
• KENDRA
