Now more than ever before, we have both the need and the opportunity to intersect creativity with empathy. We can design for more genuine interactions and spaces that enable people to have more meaningful conversations that stretch our thinking of the business-as-usual. 

Our guest today, Sonja Wekema brought some very powerful perspectives on the role of empathy in organizations. As Co-Founder of The Board Whisperers alongside Daphne Laan, their mission has been to relentlessly help organizations and individuals to discover, and act on their purpose at full potential. 

Sonja is a brilliant advocate for courageous leadership, a trait that she encourages us to find within ourselves and cultivate through empathy. 

Hope you enjoy listening to this insightful episode!

Our recent context is infused with the frictions brought by the pandemic. While this has shifted how we do business, the future of work is going to be more than that.

Today, I’ll walk you through one of the most popular concepts of our current times: hybrid work. The ongoing conversations struggle to visualise what it means to us as individuals to perform in a hybrid work environment, who is likely to benefit more from it and who cannot enjoy the shift. 

Hybrid workspaces are only the tip of the iceberg. We must learn to think deeper about hybrid work because it will shape our relationships to others, the world and ourselves. 

Thanks for joining us on this ODD journey! 

Where fiction meets reality, there are a group of curious minds doing the groundwork. The world as we know it started with ideas and people working together to connect worlds. The internet is going through yet another transformation that unlocks another layer of potential experiences. Today, the Metaverse is no longer a story of fiction but an ecosystem sustained by creators. What do we need to know about Web 3.0, and how should we prepare? Join us on this episode to find out more about the future of strategic tools, creatives and mindset shifts that come together to operate within the work of the Metaverse.

Our special guest today will share with us some insights into the new tech revolution.

The SWOT tool is simple and easy to use. It gives a good summary of strengths and weaknesses, market opportunities, and external threats. There is just one problem. The tool is not action-driven to help teams move from strategy to implementation. SWOT has been around for decades, and it needs an upgrade to support our execution efforts and complex challenges. Just because you use it, doesn’t mean it’s good enough. 

In this episode of ODD Owtcomes, we will talk about how we overcame traps and found surprising insights. This is the Meta-SWOT story, a new way to get good insights and act with confidence that you are on the right path to success.
