Become a Community Steward: Design a Learning Community that Embraces Risk-taking

Dr. Wallace Season 1 Episode 27

 When we are breaking our comfort zone - our career reinvention, identity shifts, and burnout, the loneliness of solo work, loss of focus, disorientation, and fast-changing work contexts require others’ support. 

We need communities that embrace risk-taking—especially in learning something new or exploring new terrain — because our growth, transformation, and creativity all begin at the edge of uncertainty. Without an environment that normalizes risk, we default to conformity and safety. 

A risk-embracing community makes us feel safe to try, fail, learn, and try again. 

For any action without taking a risk, we’re not growing — we’re just repeating what we used to do. 

When we are breaking our comfort zone and transiting to where we aspire to be, a risk-embracing community makes those transitions less lonely and more possible. 

In this episode, we’ll learn from the biblical character Barnabas, the early church’s great encourager. He didn’t lead with ego or control. We will explore how to shift from control to trust, from performance to participation, and from perfection to experimentation.
