Make Awkwardness An Asset
During your last day at MGMA’s Medical Practice Excellence: Financial and Operations Conference challenge yourself to step outside your comfort zone. Take a risk. Make yourself vulnerable. Do something you wouldn’t normally consider at an industry event.
According to Henna Pryor, tackling such an endeavor can be your edge.
Pryor is a workplace performance expert, professional executive coach, and the closing keynote speaker at the Financial and Operations Conference being held this week in Orlando, FL.
Risk became a 4-letter word during the pandemic, says Pryor, but as ambitious professionals and organizations who are hungry to meet our potential, we need to take risks at work.
“Risk-taking sounds good in theory, but most of us have a hard time moving from wishful thinking to execution,” Pryor says. “Why? Because when we have a chance to take a risk in the moment, we feel awkward, and that awkwardness bumps up against our deep desire for others to approve of us and what we do.
“As it turns out, it's what we improve in the face of taking risks -- often despite others' judgment -- that leads to the greatest growth. After all, the fastest path to major improvement comes from strengthening what's weak, rather than what's strong.”
In Pryor’s talk, you’ll discover the reason it’s been difficult to take risks at an individual or organizational level; examine how to use the concepts of “deliberate discomfort” and strategic micro stressors to strengthen mental muscle; and outline a personalized gameplan to be risk-ready whenever the chance arises.
MS2: Awkward and Upward! How Awkwardness Can Be Your Greatest Asset for Taking More Professional Risks will be held Tuesday, March 21 at 9:00 AM ET in Windsong 5-8 with keynote speaker and workplace performance expert Henna Pryor.
