"Stepping out and stepping up can be an intimidating experience, especially in social situations where the outcomes are unpredictable and uncertain. Have you ever been reluctant to . . . Say "no?" Request help? Ask for a raise? Stand up to a bully? Talk about tough topics? Confront a friend or spouse? Speak up and share your opinion? Begin a conversation with a stranger? Deliver a presentation or speak in public? Talk about the "white elephant in the room? Befriend people who are much different than you? Make sales calls because you don't want to be rejected?
