The Wisdom of Not-Knowing
Consider the wisdom of not-knowing, of being open to the possibilities not yet explored, or ideas not already tested.
Allowing yourself to sit in the uncertainty
That’s your problem
If you think you already know the answer… you are not actually “problem solving”
Curious about Burnout…?
As a leader what can you do when that “Can-Do attitude” got up and went? What do you do when you are left with burnout, apathy and meh…?
In my latest article in Forbes I explore the concept of compassionate curiosity after speaking with an Executive Director of a not-for-profit who was experiencing more challenging HR issues “post-covid”.
Feeling Awkward…?
When we are feeling awkward it may be because we are outside of our comfort zone, when we are trying something new or facing uncertain or ambiguous situations. It is in these moments that we learn. It is in these moments that we laugh and we connect with other people and new ideas.
We move at the speed of trust
For businesses to move forward, improve, adapt or innovate, it requires ideas to be shared, suggestions to be made and open collaboration to occur. This requires risk and vulnerability and that… requires trust.
The link between learning and laughing is no joke…
Having humility and humour gives us the space to learn, gives us the opportunity to try, and to fail. If we take ourselves too seriously and focus only on the outcome… we will miss the opportunity to learn.
Beginner’s Mind
When was the last time you did something for the first time…?
Adopting a Beginner’s Mind can lead to new ideas, new thinking and innovation.
Creating Unexpected Joy
Creating opportunities for the unexpected. The anticipation for providing joy can in itself provide joy.
Bucket List or F*ck It List…?
You may have a Bucket List of items you want to accomplish, but do you have a F*ck It List…? A list of items you no longer have to do because you no longer have to prove yourself anymore.
Where does Wisdom come from…?
Wisdom often comes from looking back.
Knowledge may be Power, but Wisdom is Freedom

too fast
to be scripted.”
