The mind has an innate ability to bring us answers. It’s this ability to listen for those insights that makes someone a generative leader.

Rena Loizou had a moment of insight while she was trapped underground during the attacks on London of July 7, 2005. This encounter, and the lightbulb moment she experienced in her tube car, catalysed a change in frame of mind from a fixed mindset to a generative one.

Things to consider

• Fear can make us feel stuck, but we can begin to unstick ourselves by being curious about the situation, and giving it a little distance.
• The mind has the capacity to completely reframe a situation, and view it afresh, without the situation having changed at all.
