Confidence catalyst Laura Gassner Otting discussed tips to get of a rut on The Today Show. Those who need to dig themselves out of a rut can learn to forge ahead toward goals and achieve limitless potential. The first step is to take Gassner Otting’s Limitless Life Assessment quiz.

We invite you to take the quiz (and share the quiz with your family and friends). Gassner Otting would love to personally discuss your results with you once you’re done, to be considered towards a story.

Gassner Otting’s upcoming book Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (April 2, 2019) provides the key to getting “unstuck” and achieving extraordinary results. Consider this book a high energy masterclass and brainstorming session all in one, complete with actionable tips to transform your vision for your career and do work with purpose. It provides a framework for everyone, at every age and life stage—from high school seniors and entrepreneurs to new mothers going back to work and retirees—to understand what success means for them and what to change to have it the way that works for themselves. Through personal anecdotes and stories from nonprofit, corporate, and government leaders – all of whom were in the midst of massive career change – she has interviewed over the past 20 years, Gassner Otting helps others become limitless.

“The first step in becoming limitless is understanding what gives you consonance,” says Gassner Otting. “That comes from understanding how much importance you place on, and from where you derive, the four elements of consonance: calling, connection, contribution, and control. Once you know that, you will be able to decide whether you need to change your career, workplace, or yourself to truly achieve your own success on a one-of-a-kind path. Consonance is easy to recognize, but it takes intention to achieve.”

Gassner Otting is available for interviews and bylines on how to get unstuck and embrace new opportunities, including the following topics:

• The four elements of consonance: What are they and why do you need all four?
• Why “follow your passion” is the world’s worst advice
• The secret to feeling purpose in our lives and making a sustainable income
• The ephemerality of work–life balance: How pitting one side of ourselves against the other limits our ability to achieve balance in either.
• 4 ways to make “retirement” meaningful
• Rehabilitating the eight motivating factors
• 5 questions to ask yourself to find your calling
• How “fake it ’til ya make it,” puts limits on our growth
• Finding consonance while working in the nonprofit sector
• Why you must first define your personal success to achieve it
• 4 words to ban from your life: “I’ll be happy when…”
• Her political and community activism
