Overcoming Fears: “Life Begins at the End of Your Comfort Zone” | Yubing Zhang
Elevate Your Potential Magazine
Overcoming Fears: According to graduate student Yubing Zhang, leaping off buildings wasn’t exactly something she ever thought she’d do. But pushing beyond her comfort zone and taking that bungee cord leap from one of the world’s largest bungee jumping platforms taught her more than she ever could have imagined.
At the time of her TEDx talk in 2015, Yubing Zhang wass a first-year MBA student at Stanford University. A series of transformational moments led Zhang to completely change her understanding of fear and courage, redefine her comfort zones and push herself to the edge. She has experienced the unlimited potential that exists when we break through our comfort zones, and is dedicated to inspiring others to do the same.
