Everyday Leadership Sope Agbelusi

Dont confuse getting noticed with being seen - Abi Adamson

Abi has built global DEI culture strategies for some of the worlds best-known companies, including American Express, Google, Spotify and Wise and is a trusted voice for the media and has been featured in leading publications discussing DEI issues, including the Metro, Training Journal, People Management and HR Zone.
In this conversation, Abi  discusses topics such as:
Film Production and Not Wanting To Be A Starving Artist
Hiring equitably and Nepotism
Being overlooked and not seen as less than despite evidence to the contrary
Choosing peace of mind over legal recourse and a payout 
The power in your Nigerian name and not getting to switch off your identity
Utilising what you have inside of you despite painful external circumstances
How a video on Linkedin changed her life and the importance of using your voice
Learning how to humble brag

Do you prefer the comfort of a predictable existence or the exhilaration of a life filled with risks and uncertainties? Embracing the unknown can bring unparalleled freedom and spontaneity, but at what cost? 
Today, I delve into this intriguing dilemma with my guest, drawing from his personal experiences and taking inspiration from figures like Rick Ruben. Dive in with us as we explore the dichotomy of safety versus uncertainty.
My guest today is visionary Chatham Sullivan the Founder of Nof1. He isn't just a student of systems, institutions, and organisations but an architect who moulds them. He builds weird new things inside of organisations, i.e. rituals, structures, whatever opens them up to allow those organisations to breathe and evolve differently. 
Chatham has a rich history of working closely with CEOs, boards, and senior leaders in organisations as diverse as Fortune 100 corporations, owner-led businesses, elite universities, and cultural institutions.
Join us on this intriguing journey as we discover the art of teaching one to fish rather than just handing them one.
In this conversation, Chatham discusses topics such as:
Importance of learning from different fields
Rick Rueben and not chasing golden records
Rethinking shareholder value
The exploration-exploitation dilemma
The more we do things to survive, the more we impoverish our ability to live.
Results from jumping the chasm of fear & inauthenticity
Making conscious choices and not living on autopilot
Not getting immediate payoff as a parent
