“In order to deal with the reality of living in a tough world you need strength, which is built by exposure to discomfort, not fragility creating by coddling ourselves from it.”
Farrah Storr – TEDx Exeter 2018
Farrah Storr
The discomfort zone
If you never step outside your comfort zone, you’ll never discover the person you could become. In a humorous, engaging talk Farrah Storr, the award-winning editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, argues that we need to embrace brief moments of discomfort if we are to fulfil our potential.
Over her 17-year career as a journalist Farrah has done everything from undercover investigations in the world of cut-price cosmetic surgery to reporting from inside some of the world’s most luxurious fashion houses. She was also the founding editor-in-chief of Women’s Health magazine – the most successful women’s magazine launch of the decade.
In 2017 Farrah was cited as one of only 36 BAME leaders in The Guardian & Operation Black Votes UK’s 1000 Most Powerful list.
