Dig Deeper 14. Natural Systems, Nervous Systems, and Navigating Change | Adam Cooper
Do you know that feeling when you're in a meeting or delivering a speech and you're caught up in thinking about what you want to say next? Then you completely miss the moment when something happens? And you're scrambling to catch up?
This episode hones in on how we can stay more present to what's going on and then respond in the moment to what's happening so we can engage people more effectively and better navigate messy, complex situations.
You’ll learn:
- How diving into the unknown fosters creativity and connection
- Why pre-meeting interactions shape the outcomes of gatherings
- How language influences our identity and decision-making
- Why navigating the unknown requires collective effort and presence
- Four forms of listening that you need to master
- How nature serves as a powerful teacher for leadership.
- How systemic change begins with individual awareness and action.
- Why breath and presence are essential tools for leaders.
- Why savouring the world leads to deeper understanding and connection.
Adam Cooper is one of those people who sees the world just a little bit differently. Adam grew up in Zimbabwe during a time of profound change, watching a society transform before he moved to New Zealand when he was 18. And that experience of seeing how quickly things can shift has shaped his unique lens on leadership and change.
Adam's known for helping leaders and organisations see possibilities they didn't know existed. And he brings a fascinating blend of strategic thinking and embodied wisdom to his work. He's got this uncanny ability to spot patterns and shifts in society long before they become obvious to everyone else.
Adam designs his own path and is a role model for how you can too.
