It’s No Surprise

Have you ever surprised yourself?

As I listened to the answer to this interview question, I wondered about my own response.

It is no surprise that my answer is yes, I have surprised myself. Many times.

Stepping outside my comfort zone,

Playing with new ideas and innovating,

Learning and applying new skills,

Experimenting and testing.

Being comfortable with surprise is an essential part of navigating the uncertainty in our work and lives.

I wouldn’t be surprised to know that you surprise yourself, too. Are you?
