My four key take-aways:
1. Nobody needs to be exposed to VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) without protection. Mark’s response and action model ‘new VUCA’ is made up of vision, understanding, creativity and agility. It empowers everyone to remain level-headed, goal-orientated and, above all, capable of acting.
2. The path to ‘future vision’ is not about ‘being busy’ (=‘chasing your tail’), but about ‘non-action’, or in one word ‘insight’ (= ‘the ability to see within’). Mark recommends: ‘Sit with an open heart and clear mind, and wait for it.’
3. ‘Ethos is an essential mode of behaviour.’ Actual behaviour is an expression of values and priorities – not rules, plans or ‘Excel tapestry’.
4. ‘Radical Inclusiveness’ creates connection and trust in teams. Every team member is allowed to answer for themselves: ‘Am I understood? Am I included?”. The answer should always be ‘yes’.
Thanks to Mark! Thanks to the amazing team at ProgressMaker®! 😘

Valuable concept against doubts
2 Min. When I tackle a new project and doubt or hesitate, which is often, I repeat this phrase: “Not easy, but humanly possible, so doable.” Like here with a desensitization with a tarantula.

Ranger Training in South Africa
Something is up in the bush
16 Min. Exploring the wilderness on foot in the midst of lions, elephants and buffalo? You can learn to do that. In summer 2019, I will join a field guide course in South Africa.
