Colin, thanks very much for the comment. As you say, the Silo is a place of comfort, and allows us to develop skills and confidence. I salute you for your commitment to getting uncomfortable, as Robyn Stegman put it in her post on Monday. Getting a little uncomfortable allows us to use new thought processes and break out of old patterns, regardless of how beneficial they may be. I look forward to your updates!

Great post! I think this is SO important. To often, we get stuck in our silo and it is where we as individuals can find our confidence, self identity, etc etc. I think it can also be where we develop a sense of comfort because it is what we know. I work for a non-profit and it is one I am passionate about because I am a member of the community that the organization represents. I have created my own silo and struggle to get out of it! I read this on Friday and thought about it over the weekend. I have realized it is time to get involved and volunteer with a new organization that involves a new, yet to be determined, passion or interest. I will let you know where my adventure away from the silo takes me! Look forward to your next challenge!
