Episode 8 - The Human Side Of Change – Adaptability with Ross Thornley

In the previous episodes, we have heard insights around diversity and inclusion. In this episode we dive into how, we as people and organisations, adapt to the changing environment around us. Change has increased in speed over the past year, driven by technology, globalisation and innovation. In 2020, we have experienced a new type of change that has challenged us to adapt. So in this episode, we have invited Ross Thornley, CEO & Co-founder of AQai. He is a serial entrepreneur and having built a branding agency, he now champions the future of work and the UN’s sustainable development goals. Listen to Ross share his research and insights into human adaptability, which is maybe the new super power we all look for. He will explain a new model for measuring, what he defines, as AQ. A highly relevant topic as we as people, teams and organisations experience a changing business as well as personal environment. Ross will reflect on questions such as how we as individuals adapt and how varied our adaptability is. How can organisations bring their workforce on the change journey? Why is it difficult to adapt to new circumstances? What can organisations do to help their employees on this journey? Please rate, review and subscribe and if you have any feedback please email us at podcast@essentapartners.com.Books recommended in this episode:Personality Isn't Permanent by Benjamin HardyUnlearn by Barry O’ReillyThe short film Ross mentions can be found on YouTube: https://youtu.be/K_Mku_lciF0
