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!

Build a Better Now: How to Reclaim the Moment in a Distracted World with Greg Bennick
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we’re dancing in the discomfort zone with Greg Bennick (www.gregbennick.com) keynote speaker, author, musician, juggler (yes, actually), and professional reminder that you matter.
Greg’s message? If you want a better future, build a better now.
We talk about what it really means to embrace discomfort. Not as something to survive, but as something to lean into. Greg shares how his early days as a performer (and yes, literal juggler) shaped his relationship with fear, uncertainty, and personal freedom.
Inspired by Indiana Jones stepping onto the rock bridge (look it up!) Greg challenges us to stop waiting for clarity and start building momentum.
We explore:
- Why your relationship with fear determines your growth
- How authenticity cuts through distraction and chaos
- What it takes to build stronger teams where everyone feels like they matter
We also dive into his book Reclaim the Moment: Seven Strategies to Build a Better Now, and how focusing on the present moment isn’t fluffy advice...it’s survival in today’s overloaded, distracted world.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” this is your nudge.
