Presenters: Jacqueline Brassey and Aaron De Smet | Time: 9:30 - 10:00 a.m. ET / 15:30 - 16:00 CT
As the pace of change accelerates in an increasingly complex world, leaders must perform outside their comfort zones in their personal and professional lives. This requires adaptation. Yet, the same conditions that make adapting so important can also trigger fear, leading some to resist change and default to reactive behavior that stifles innovation.
This “adaptability paradox” is defined and explored in a new book, Deliberate Calm, authored by Director of Research Science Jacqueline Brassey, Senior Partner Aaron De Smet, and McKinsey alum Michiel Kruyt.
Drawing from a unique combination of psychology, neuroscience, and consciousness practices plus a combined 50-plus years of international board room experience, the authors offer a unique approach to learning and leading with awareness. Join authors Jacqueline Brassey and Aaron De Smet as they discuss the methods and tools to learn proactively and lead dynamically amid the most uncertain circumstances.
