| Why are transformations important? |
| Transformations are important in order to address the Global Grand Challenges that face us as we move towards a time when the speed of change increasing at an exponential rate. We need to transform mindset in order to transform all areas of life. There is a reason that meditation and mindfulness are currently prevalent. If we live in the moment, in each portion of each moment, we are present in every moment of the changes that are taking place. When that happens, we can assimilate and emotionally adapt to the changes we are experiencing – moment by moment. |
| How can you make transformations a success? |
| Transformation means ‘a marked change in form, nature or appearance’. To successfully transform, agility is required and with that comes trust, the ability to take a leap of faith and to go with the tide. A sense of confidence is imperative. Without confidence transformation hesitates. With hesitation there is no intrinsic purpose. Intrinsic purpose is required for successful transformation. It’s cyclical really. |
| What advice would you give to someone embarking upon a transformation? |
| Learn as much as you can. Read within and without your area of expertise. Be a sponge when it comes to information. You don’t take it all on though. You filter those parts that make sense to you. Work on your confidence as part of the transition. Make sure to include personal growth in everything you do. Emotional intelligence and empathy will be required in everything as we transition into the next phase. |
