Complex challenges often come without a playbook. In a world that's rapidly evolving and increasingly becoming more complex, an agile mindset empowers us to adapt quickly, think on our feet, and embrace change as an opportunity rather than a setback.

In this episode of the HAPPINESS SQUAD podcast, Ashish, Anil, and Johanne Lavoie, Partner at McKinsey & Company and leadership expert, explore the importance of an agile mindset in the face of complexities.

Johanne is also the Dean of McKinsey & Company’s signature multi-client program, leading with inner agility, which helps senior executives lead with greater purpose and impact in times of increasing complexity. As an author and frequent lecturer, Johanne actively engages in broader conversations at the nexus of leadership, mindfulness, and business. 

Joe has played a key role in the transformation of so many lives, including that of Ashish's, and in this episode, we’ll discover powerful practices and habits that can  help us live healthier, meaningful, and fuller lives. We’ll also dive deeper into how inner work for leaders is pivotal in fostering a human-centric approach to leadership.
