Send Leanne a message

In this episode, host Petra Zink, Leanne Hughes, and Dr Maike Neuhaus cover a range of topics related to staying current with emerging technologies, overcoming fear and uncertainty, and building a unique personal brand.

This is a warm-up episode because First Time Facilitator, a limited series edition is returning in late May, in the lead-up to Leanne's book release: The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint.

Here are 10 key takeaways from the conversation:

1. It's important to stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and explore new tools and resources to stay ahead of the curve.
2. Cognitive biases can make us feel like we are immune to the effects of economic and technological changes.
3. Optimism and hope can be adaptive, even if they are not always realistic.
4. We need to be open-minded and look for opportunities to adapt and learn in the face of disruption and change.
5. It's important to develop a clear framework or method for delivering results in your work.
6. Working in public and sharing half-baked ideas can lead to better collaboration and innovation.
7. It's important to give yourself dedicated thinking time to tackle complex problems and generate new ideas.
8. Having fun and enjoying the learning process can help us stay engaged and creative.
9. The proximity principle can help us learn from the source and build relationships with experts in our field.
10. Creating a unique personal brand and specializing in a specific area can help us stand out and build a successful career or business.
