This week on The New P&L TO THE POINT, we discuss ‘Powerless or Powerful’ aligning the experience big wave surfers have when they wipe out on huge waves to the experiences many of us are facing in business right now – wave after wave of turmoil and uncertainly, dragging us down, turning us upside down, with us popping up for air just long enough to see the next challenge bearing down on us – leading to a feeling of Powerlessness in the face of adversity.

The episode outlines what big wave surfers can teach business people about thriving in adversity, the importance of preparation in minimising the impact of the challenges we face on our businesses, and why relative power is about perception – what can seem at first ‘powerless’ can actually be a demonstration of how powerful we actually are.
