What if leadership isn't about having all the answers? Discover the power of embracing uncertainty with our special guest, Lisa Slayton, a former nonprofit leader who now thrives as a consultant and author. Join us as Lisa recounts her transformative journey from heading the a local Pittsburgh nonprofit to co-authoring "Life in Flux" with Michaela O'Donnell.
In this eye-opening episode, we challenge conventional problem-solving approaches by exploring the concept of "embracing the unfigureoutable." Lisa and I talk about the shift from solving problems to fostering curiosity, especially when facing complex, unsolvable issues. Embrace your vulnerabilities and learn why admitting "I don't know" can be a strength, leading to innovation and growth. With the metaphor of a trapeze artist as our guide, we discuss the leaps of faith required to unlearn outdated practices and navigate the ever-changing landscape of leadership. Tune in for practical wisdom and inspiration that will resonate with leaders across all fields.
