I had to lead a meeting.
It sounds simple, but it was a big meeting.
It was a complicated debate about a nuanced part of this project.
I was successful, and I so vividly remember walking out of that meeting feeling like myself again.
I had gone from feeling like a beginner in this new environment to feeling confident and capable.
I spent another three years on this project, learning and growing, and on the other side of it, I was a completely different person.
I was offered jobs that no one would have offered me if I had stayed in HR.
That's the thing about jumping off cliffs.
It doesn't just take you a couple flights up on the stairs.
It's like a weird elevator that takes you to a whole new place.
Cliff jumps teach you who you are and what you are capable of in ways that the stairs can never.
To get good at jumping off cliffs, you have to get good at three things.
The first is actually jumping off the cliff.
After many years of coaching people through career decisions, I know that sometimes it is just not the right time to take a risk.
But I can also tell you that most people do not stay stuck on the stairs out of necessity.
They stay there out of fear.
The trick is to learn to tell the difference between the kind of fear that says, I'm scared I might run out of money, which you should actually listen to, and the kind of fear that says, I'm scared I might fail, which you should take as a giant green flashing light to jump.
Cliff jumps teach you what you are capable of in spite of fear.
The second thing you have to get good at in order to get good at jumping off cliffs is surviving the fall.
Jumping off a cliff is taking a giant step backwards into the land of being a beginner again.
