In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen speaks with renowned strategist, futurist, and author John Hagel III, whose 40+ year career spans management consulting, entrepreneurship, and transformative thought leadership at the intersection of business and human potential.

John retired as a partner at Deloitte, where he founded the Silicon Valley-based Center for the Edge, and now leads Beyond Our Edge, LLC—a company helping individuals and organizations navigate change and unlock greater impact. His most recent book, The Journey Beyond Fear, explores the psychology of transformation and how to shift from threat-based to opportunity-based narratives.

In this conversation, we explore:

✅ How to navigate fear in a time of accelerating change

✅ The difference between threat-based and opportunity-based narratives

✅ What it really means to cultivate passion in the workplace

✅ The power of "small, smart moves" to create massive impact

✅ The concept of “productive friction” and how to turn tension into innovation

✅ How leaders can shape powerful narratives that inspire alignment and action

If you're a leader, innovator, or simply someone looking to move from fear into purpose, this episode offers a rare opportunity to learn from one of the great strategic minds of our time.
