Have you ever felt demotivated or were struggling to get engaged with a new project?

Many people in the western world can remember where they were on 9/11 when the aeroplanes hit the Twin Towers in New York but can you remember where you were on 22nd March 2016? My guest in this episode will never forget where she was on the morning of the 22nd March 2016. Karen Northshield was standing within meters of the first suicide bomber at Brussels airport.

But, nonetheless, she did survive. Today, she's rebuilding her life. She's written a book and in this conversation, she will share with you how to be more resilient.

| How to navigate a crisis | 14 May 2021 | 00:50:56 | |
In this episode, I chat with Author and Crisis Expert, Caroline Sapriel. The Covid pandemic has given us all a first-hand experience of a crisis unfolding before our very eyes. It's no longer something happening "over there", but in our own daily lives. In times of crisis, we turn to our leaders to steer us through. But, what if they let us down? In this informative discussion, Caroline explains how leaders can prepare for crisis events and what qualities they need to have to be able to navigate through them when they do occur. She highlights that a crisis is not just a bad week at the office, that the term "crisis management" is something of a misnomer, and that there's a difference between a crisis and a reputation meltdown. Using references to pears, accordions, sailing boats and more Caroline explains how to approach a crisis situation, how to organise your people to deal with it and what hard and soft skills leaders (and indeed anyone working with them) need. And, she explains why women may even have an edge over men when it comes to these skills. When there's a crisis it seems we all need to step up and do our bit. She ends by explaining how the Covid pandemic could've been handled so much better... Follow | |||
