8. How to Challenge and Change the Rules that Limit Us, Question Our Perspectives, and Think Outside the Box | Suzanne Rosa

Do you ever feel hamstrung by the rules you’re bound by? The have-to’s and should’s and the ‘don’t-do-that’s’ that govern your work practices and broader life? Do you ever wonder what things would be like if you could change the rules of the game? Rules are invented. They're made up. Which means they can be uninvented, or reinvented. Today’s conversation with behaviouralist and facilitator Suzanne Rosa explores the importance of identifying, challenging, and changing the rules to serve the purpose we’re here for. After listening, you’ll have a fresh way of thinking about how you can unlock new ways of working and living to create more of what matters. Suzanne was born in England and now lives in Sydney. She had a really tough upbringing: born deaf, she had multiple operations to restore her hearing. Then she lived in a truck travelling around Europe before becoming a foster child and then a homeless teenager. All of this led her to dig deeply into life's range of emotions and explore how we can utilise all that living has to offer. She's the author of two books, A Flourishing Mind, and Sleeping Giants. She can be summed up in three words: energy, curiosity, and ferocity. In this conversation, we explore: How our perception and lenses shape the meaning we make of the worldThere is no one truth, and why it's important to question our own perspectiveHow societal conditioning often limits our ability to pioneer and think outside the boxHow listening to our own signals and questioning the rules that hold us back can create conditions for a pioneering spiritThe importance of questioning societal norms and rulesHow to take time to regather and ground yourself before embarking on new chapters of personal growth.
