Calm Edged Rebels

S6 E10 – How to live with uncertainty.

In the final episode with Jenni, Trudy, and Advita, they ponder on how to live with uncertainty.

 

All our lives were affected by the pandemic, and we had to adjust to this concept and cope with this constant feeling of uncertainty. How did we do this?

 

This is a good conversation for the Calm Edged Rebels who can offer advice to people who are experiencing ambiguity and uncertainty, but also to think about where agility might come into organisations, the link to resilience, and exploring for our own experiences, not just with our clients or who we're working with. But how comfortable are we with uncertainty and ambiguity? And has that changed from the pandemic, where there was so much that was unknown that have, we naturally developed more of a resilience and therefore we are slightly more comfortable with the unknown.

 

Thank you for listening to season 6 of our Calm Edged Rebels podcast. We hope you have enjoyed this season and continue to keep listening!

S6 E9 – How to rehumanize leaders.

In this penultimate episode, the Calm, Edged, Rebels challenge the phrase ‘rehumanize’ and the potential separation of personal and professional approaches when in an organisation.

 

‘What is your purpose’ is that a heavy question to answer? What motivates you at work? Do you feel empathy as a leader? How do we remain feeling human in a digital world?

 

What place does purpose and meaning have for someone who is trying to develop emotional intelligence? And that more human side? Do you think it has a place?
