The document discusses the learning zone model by Senninger, highlighting three zones: the comfort zone, the learning zone, and the panic zone. The comfort zone is a safe space for reflection, while the learning zone is where growth occurs through new experiences. The panic zone represents a state of fear and anxiety that hinders learning, and it emphasizes the importance of respecting individual thresholds for each zone.

Zone
"Ah... Nice
and shady."
Things are familiar, no
need to take any risks

6. Learning
Zone
"A little deeper
each time."
Lies just outside of
comfort zone. Only way
to learn and grow.

7. Panic
Zone
"OMG! What
have I gotten
myself into?!"
Moving too far from
comfort zone, beyond
the learning zone. Fear
and anxiety takes over.

8. TAKE NOTE Every individual's
threshold for each zone
will be different. It can
also differ by situation.

Never push someone
into the learning
zone, as you cannot
see where it starts
and ends.
