Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney
Let's face it, life is uncomfortable. Whether it's interacting with other humans (or trying to), going after our goals and improving our lives, or understanding other people's perspectives, preferences and proclivities, being able to face the discomforts in life with courage, compassion, confidence and resilience will make life a lot more enjoyable! So join me as we DANCE IN THE DISCOMFORT ZONE! We'll explore new ideas, learn how to build our confidence, courage and resilience, and laugh a little too, because life is serious enough. We need a little cha cha, and a little ha ha every once in a while! Welcome to the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney!
Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney
Laid Off, Let Go, and Leveled Up with Sarena Diamond
What do you do when life hands you a layoff, single parenthood, and a house full of 28 years’ worth of memories… all at once?
In this episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, I sit down with organizational change powerhouse Serena Diamond (www.diamondsolutionsgroupllc.com) —former IBM exec turned entrepreneur—who shares how she navigated a major life and career pivot by betting on the one person she could trust: herself.
From leadership lessons in the trenches of corporate transformation to the deeply personal art of letting go, Serena brings the insight, the heart, and the real talk.
Whether you’re leading a team through change or leading yourself through a reinvention, this episode is full of wisdom you’ll want in your back pocket.
What You’ll Take Away:
- Why self-trust is your most valuable asset in times of change
- How curiosity (not control) builds team loyalty and growth
- What downsizing your life can teach you about leadership
- Why empathy and accountability aren’t opposites—they’re a power duo
- How to stop doing it your way and let others rise
