Topic:
If they were creating a trailer for a movie about the dystopian world of work we all live in right now, you would be Jack Bauer tied to a chair, beaten half to death.
…and here’s the best part – No one is coming to save you…
“Dammit!”
Are you feeling the strain of a professional world that’s gone from complex to chaotic? The old playbook for navigating change no longer applies. As the challenges we face become less about Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) and more about a Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible (BANI) reality, it’s time to carve your own way forward.
In this talk, I’ll share practical, experiment-based tools from the book “No One Is Coming to Save You.” We’ll dive into a proven method for designing your own personal and professional “power-ups” to not only survive but thrive.
What you’ll learn to do:
• Apply systems thinking to optimize your capacity to show up and be of service to others.
• Strengthen your emotional intelligence, a critical skill in an increasingly AI-dominant world.
• Design and run real-world experiments to adapt, grow, and surf the chaos of daily work.
• Embrace personal agency and become the proactive force your team needs.
This session will equip you with the mindset and tools to navigate today’s world of work, where your ability to take action is your greatest asset.
