Tips to take risks, move outside your comfort zone.
What's your attitude toward risks? Can you embrace them as adventures? At the National Institute for Leadership Development (NILD) conference in Phoenix in November, President Dr. Carrole Wolin asked, "Are you playing it safe or safely playing?"

You can't avoid risk, so you might as well get good at it. We take risks every day. It's a risk to step out of the shower. If you try to avoid risk, things will happen to you anyway and you'll feel out of control--because you didn't take control by assessing and facing risks.
Intentional risks are those that take us out of our comfort zone. She defined risk-taking as "a process of deciding whether to take the chance of losing something you value to gain something you desire."
Women risk differently from men. They blame themselves for failures, while men blame others when things go wrong. The widespread belief that women take fewer risks isn't true, she said.
Her gut feeling is that men go more for the physical risk of extreme sports, while women excel at other forms of risk. "There's a courage in the daily risks that women may be better at," she told WIHE, perhaps due to multitasking and socialization to take care of others. "Women know they have to take risks to move forward and make things happen."
