Consulting Magazine’s Post

The answer was an immediate yes to speaking with a wonderful group of emerging leaders. I was the third speaker and started with, “And now for something completely different.” My talk was about mindset and self-awareness (aka the competitive advantage). I shared three tips, one of which was behavioural flexibility. In these times of constant change, getting from point A to point B is not a straight line. It’s knowing how to navigate the twists and turns – an essential skill at any point in your career and leadership journey. I teach behavioural flexibility and other powerful mindset techniques in my upcoming workshop, 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥. This full-day workshop is for emerging, new and experienced leaders and anyone committed to self-development. I’m planning for early May. Stay tuned right here for the details! #consciousleadership #selfdevelopment #workshop

"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." - F. Scott Fitzgerald Earlier this week, I listened to the Global Thought Leaders Summit 2023 facilitated by Implement Consulting Group. It was an exceptionally produced event with fantastic keynote speakers and senior executives to present an in-depth discussion on making choices. The summit delved deep into the intricate world of choice-making in an era of paradoxes, exploring the strategies to leverage creative tensions, the essential capabilities needed to address crises at scale, and the imperative shift in mindset for continuous integrative thinking in a paradoxical world. Listening to Roger Martin, Wendy K. Smith, Stig Albertsen, Signe Gro Jensen, Henriette Hallberg Thygesen and Lars Sandahl Sørensen was incredibly inspiring. It stimulated me to deepen my understanding of the topics of integrative thinking, the need for being comfortable with ambiguity, as well as Both/And thinking, an approach I have been inspired by most of my life already as I see great power in making two opposing ideas meet and create an even more effective option - utilising the best of both worlds. Interested in watching the event yourself? You can find the recording here: https://lnkd.in/e_HhPFYP I'm eager to hear your thoughts on defining paradoxes and what measures industries and the economy need to take for sustainable, long-term resolution. Let's continue this insightful conversation! 🌐✨ #ThoughtLeadership #ChoiceMaking #GlobalSummitInsights #IntegrativeThinking

With keen interest, I read the Senior Executive's post about the most impactful advice L&D leaders have received in their careers. It got me thinking, what advice would I give my younger self at the outset of my journey? 📌 Encourage diverse perspectives: what resonates with me the most is the significance of diverse perspectives in problem-solving. Actively seeking and incorporating a variety of viewpoints enriches the learning experience and drives innovation within the team. 📌 Embrace failure as a learning opportunity: I learned that setbacks are stepping stones to success. Encouraging a culture where mistakes are seen as valuable lessons promotes resilience and continuous improvement. 📌 Communication is key: I learned that effective communication is at the core of successful leadership. Clear and transparent communication builds trust, enhances collaboration, and ensures everyone is aligned with the organization's learning goals.
