Value through Vulnerability podcast from HEXO Change

This was an incredible conversation that I was privileged to be part of as Aga and OI went deep into culture, leadership, courage, change, experimentation, personal agency, accountability and so much more.

Some quotes from this brilliant conversation to pique your interest include:

- "we are wired for choice and polarities"

- "it is impossible to make a huge change and a major overhaul of these systems and world views.  The only thing you can do is introduce a tiny change and see how that system reacts to that"

- “What is the smallest possible change that I could make to maintain the biggest part of the algorithm, change a small part, but at the same time have a huge impact”

- “I think that we have way more power in our hands than we want to believe”

- “The people that I consider to be cultural revolutionaries, one of the characteristics is that they lead from the heart and purpose rather than the ego”

- “Culture is not just global, culture is very much local”

Aga blends experience as:  • a leader, in companies big and small • an experienced consultant • an executive and team coach • a researcher and an author • a podcast host and a blogger • an entrepreneur with her unstoppable and insatiable curiosity about what works and what doesn’t work in organisational and social change. Her approach is science and evidence based. 

She makes the complex issue of culture, change and team dynamics as simple (but not simpler) as possible, uncovering all the crucial and fundamental forces at play, so that you can take the right actions to bring about the change you seek. Aga has worked with senior leadership of many major organisations, including the Hilton Hotels and Resorts, Citibank, Toyota, Porsche, GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Leo Pharma, Hellenic Bank, Eurolife, Bank of Cyprus, Eurobank, Wargaming, Sanofi, Amdocs, SAP, MSX, Heineken, the European Patent Ofce and many, many others.

This was a wonderful conversation with any superb human who blends science and spirituality so beautifully. Topics meandered through include vulnerability, self-awareness, neuroscience, connection, fear, story-telling and so much more. Some example insights discuss during this conversation include: - "heart to heart connection in real genuine authentic presence with others saved time and created far better problem-solving" - "a lot of things can go wrong in life because we are too afraid to be vulnerable and be in a place of unpredictability of another human being - we come unpredictable" - "when we are seen, when we are connected, that generates slowing of the heart rate, it generates different neuro-muscular junction" - "when we sit in our spirituality, we realise that resources are not limited" - "isolation is the biggest punishment our nervous system could possibly endure" - "we don't value preventative tools yet. It takes very enlightened people to be going 'hey, I could be doing this before a problem" Magdalena can be contacted via the following means:

It's time to replace fear with love.
