Edge

French translation: frontière

Social Sciences - Management / Coaching - theory of change
English term or phrase: Edge
The word I am looking to translate is "Edge". I have already found "théorie du changement" for "Change Theory", but there are numerous possibilities for the term "Edge" and after several hours of research I haven't found the exact one. I am using "arête" because of the picture of a triangle included in the text, with an arrow pointing over it, so it's the image of a crest to be surmounted.

Ref; https://www.crrglobal.com/uploads/5/6/9/0/56909237/orsc-inte...

The original is Canadian/American English; the target is Canadian French.

Context:
Edges
The Edge is the line between the known and the unknown—it is
at the limit of what we know about ourselves. Any time you try
a new behavior or idea or perspective, you are crossing an Edge.
As long as teams and individuals grow and change, there will
always be new frontier and edges to explore. Coaching groups
and teams at the edge is frustrating, scary, exhilarating and
highly necessary

Thank you.

French translation:frontière
Explanation:
edge, c'est aussi limite, mais comme vous avez limit par la suite, il faut éviter la redondance. Je pense que bordure, bord et arête sont à éviter ici...

edge
sortir de sa zone de confort


Explanation:
zone de confort est le contraire de "edge" mais c'est une idée souvent employée en management. Il s'agit dans ce texte de sortir régulièrement de sa zone de confort pour encourager la créativité et les nouvelles idées.
