The Book Leads – Episode 45: Jim Frawley & Adapting In Motion: Finding Your Place In The New Economy

There are two major lessons I’ve learned from my conversations while hosting The Book Leads. First, preparation is everything. Getting ready before we have to be ready, not waiting until the urgency is upon us, sets us up in a better position for what’s coming. And second, just how much we can learn from the children around us – and even our own inner child.

This episode’s conversation is no exception. During this talk with Jim, he walks us through what he conveys are the critical steps needed to adapt to unforeseen
change. The two components I mentioned above come up in this conversation. First, the bulk of Jim’s work is preparing his clients and their workforces for
unexpected change. Second, part of that preparation is knowing what we don’t know, being curious, and tapping into the wonder of children who are always
exploring and always asking questions.

Some highlights from this episode:

  • One of my favorites: The importance of micro-interactions.
  • To be active adapter, you have to have an opinion and belief system – most people don’t have it.
  • Most questions come with judgements and assumptions. How do we shed those?
  • The reason kids are so happy is because they’re asking questions, with awe and wonder, while adults are miserable because they have all the answers.

The MAIN QUESTION for you, which underlies my conversation with Jim is, What steps do you take to prepare yourself as best as possible today against changes you can’t see coming in the future?
