To face the scope and threats of the 21st century challenges, today's leaders must possess potent powers for logic, reason, discernment and strategic forecasting. Yet, they must also be empathic and therefore embodied, grounded and intuitive. (From book cover). I'm joined by transformational leadership expert and author or 'Leader to Healer', Nicholas Janni. This is a very inspirational discussion on leadership, and not one many will have considered before. Nicholas touches on: 1. Defining resilience, 2. Being vs Doing. 3. Leader as an Executor vs a Leader as a Healer, 4. Self-awareness, 5, Defining ones purpose (personal and as a group), 6, The importance of emotions, 7. Tips to begin making a transformative change...and more. Nicholas is very inspirational and offers some very interesting insights into how leaders can find answers to some of their challenges - during crises, disasters, and other situations - by looking inwards to make transformative change happen. You don't want to miss this episode. Enjoy!
Preparing for the Unexpected is about how people, organizations and communities plan, prepare, test, communicate and respond to sudden unplanned events such as natural and manmade disasters and crises. The show is for everyone who wants an understanding of how plans are created for individuals, organizations and communities and for anyone who wants to know what they can do in their own lives to help protect themselves from unexpected events. There is a myth that disasters happen to others but in reality, they happen to everyone. It's just a matter of when and how well-prepared you are. The greater the level of awareness, communication and knowledge, the quicker one bounces back from adversity. The overall aim of Preparing for the Unexpected is to reduce the suffering, effects and impacts caused as a result of disasters and unexpected life events by increasing knowledge and awareness of Operational Resilience, Business Contingency, Disaster Planning, Crisis Management, and related activities.
