Hearing Voices: Expanding Your Growth Zone

Every change starts with an idea, a change of heart, a shifted paradigm but unless it informs what we do it remains just an idea. Our focus on ‘Hearing Voices’ is not meant to make us more open-minded, but more open-lived. On Nov 17 we used our collective time, experience, energy and courage to each plan our own ‘What’s Next.’ Since that doesn't translate well to podcast, let this conversation between Greg, Melissa, and Chris fill that void as they dig in to some potential places to stretch your growth zone in this Hearing Voices conversation.
