Changing the story: How leaders can rise above and write the future
In an era of disruption and uncertainty, many leaders feel events are happening to them. When this story takes hold, organisations can drift into autopilot.
In our latest livestream, cognitive psychologist and bestselling author Scott Barry Kaufman will join Adam Penny and Claudia Biçen from The Beautiful Truth for a conversation about what it really takes to lead when the ground is shifting.
Drawing on Rise Above, Transcend and Wired to Create, we'll explore how the moments that feel biggest and most uncontrollable — are precisely the moments that unlock creativity, reclaim agency, and reconnect us to what we're actually trying to build.
Join us to explore:
Why uncertainty can be a source of awe — not just anxiety
How to recognise when your organisation has drifted into autopilot
Scott's sailboat model, and what it means for leadership under pressure
How to build teams that create, rather than just respond
What it looks like to shape a future you can't yet see
