    Vulnerability: Moving through Fear to Inner Freedom with Garry Turner

    Vulnerability: Moving through Fear to Inner Freedom with Garry Turner

    Have you ever been told that vulnerability is a sign of weakness? Have you believed it? Garry Turner debunks the myth and shares his personal journey after saying yes to an inner recognition that something was missing from life. His exploration released him from old traumas, through to recovered energy and a freedom that energizes an unimaginable level of productivity and creativity.
    Garry Turner guides the expansion of possibilities at the intersections of International Sales, People & Culture, Equity & Inclusion and Sustainability. Guided by a
    major focus on serving, and seeking, to disrupt extractive industry mindsets and structures from the inside out and the outside in, Garry works on a 1-1 basis with executive and senior leaders, and with teams, as a Thinking Partner, International Speaker, and holding space for connection, co-creation, reimagining and exceptional performance.
    Garry is also a content creator having hosted two podcasts, Value through Vulnerability and Activating Consciousness, writes blogs, and also hosts livestreams around a variety of deeply human and systemic topics. Garry's links are here: https://linktr.ee/HexoChangeGarryTurner See also Hegemony Revealed on YouTube.
    These are times when true leaders accept the challenge of moving past fear to realize a much deeper adaptive capacity. Garry's experience illustrates what is possible when you refuse to let fear-based thinking set the limits for what you are capable of experiencing.

    This episode promises insights into leveraging collective intelligence for true innovation and the inevitable decline of traditional hierarchical models. Rod's book 'Nobody is Smarter Than Everybody' was published by guest Rod Collins.

You'll gain valuable insights for professionals, leaders, and anyone interested in the impact of collective intelligence and the evolution of organizational structures. A few highlights:
     Leveraging collective intelligence: "Power with" rather than "power over" can amplify the collective intelligence of groups, leading to more innovative and effective outcomes.The importance of autonomy and order: Hint: it is not either/or.The implications of digital feudalismThe decline of hierarchical management structuresThe necessity for companies to evolve
    Rod's book is available through the usual outlets. https://rodcollins.net/

    Networks and the Future of Organizations with Jeffrey Beeson

    Networks and the Future of Organizations with Jeffrey Beeson

    What is the world asking for you to contribute? This and many other reflections pop up in the conversation with Jeffrey Beeson who explores what network science tells us about the future of organizations and what it means for leaders. Organizations are changing: their structure, thinking and internal roles. We talk about:
    pioneering companies who reinvented themselves, shifts leaders need to make, the science and effectiveness of small teams, and how network science helps us understand human systems and organizations. As a followup to the previous episode, we also talk about collective intelligence.
    Jeffrey’s career path inspired him to recognize the need to integrate the perspectives of strategy and organizational culture. He founded Ensemble Enabler to collaborate with organizations to foster agile organizational cultures and advance leadership at all levels of an organization. Through a unique collection of practices, Ensemble Enabler supports organizations to develop insights, acquire new knowledge, and implement new ideas through innovative approaches. Jeffrey co-founded the non-profit organization World Café Europe e.V. in 2007. Its vision …”is a Europe where citizens actively engage to find concrete solutions for the key issues of their time.”
    You'll find his work on https://www.ensembleenabler.com/ in German and English
    Thanks to Patricia Munro for the introduction.
