New York Times bestselling author Larina
Kase explains how to identify and change
career-stagnating behavior
Many who want to advance in the workplace are faced
with their own innate fear of change, even positive
change that could move their career forward. Building
on her work in The Confident Speaker, Larina Kase
pushes readers into their “Discomfort Zone,” giving
them strategies to navigate unfamiliar, and
uncomfortable areas, and be better able to distinguish
the positive decisions and actions that will push them
up the corporate ladder, instead of keeping them
trapped in a stifling professional existence.
