I’m sitting on the train. I’m working, my last three lectures are coming to me.
I held the first one in an exclusive event for Austrian company managers. The second for more than a hundred people on a company’s motivational day. The third online for a company with 3,000 employees. All three performances had interesting twists and lessons. I am happy to share these with you😊
The exclusive show
After individual resilience, the discussion of my first lecture quickly shifted to the systemic level. An exciting conversation developed about what makes a system resistant, e.g. in case of black out.
This was the result of the discussion: A resilient system is characterized by its ability to withstand disturbances, stress and change, and recover from them to continue functioning. The main characteristics of a resilient system can be summarized as follows.
Robustness
The ability to remain stable and functional in the face of disturbances and loads without suffering significant damage or loss of performance.
Redundancy
The existence of alternative resources, components, or pathways that compensate for the failure of a single component or function and maintain system performance.
Adaptability
The ability to adapt to changing circumstances and challenges by developing new strategies, reallocating resources or modifying processes.
Flexibility
The ability to switch to different operating states or environmental conditions when necessary and adapt to changing requirements.
In addition to the robustness of the system, the company managers also highlighted the human factor: if all members of our team commit, we will be able to restore order with the help of cohesion and creativity.
The personal presentation
I especially liked my second lecture: I gave it personally, I was able to work with an interested, open audience. Personal involvement was the main focus here. In the introduction, I described how external circumstances can affect our lives, and how important it is to prepare for changes. If we are able to accept change and develop ourselves, we will be able to cope with the challenges no matter what the difficulties.
Important. to observe our world with the widest “optics” possible, to be open to the opinions of others. If we are able to recognize new aspects, it is much easier for us to adapt to changes in life.
The Creative Destruction performance
One of the modules of my online lecture was about creative destruction. I highlighted that changes are natural in life. If we are able to innovate, we are much more likely to succeed. Self-reflection, self-awareness and learning from feedback are important for this. I talked about how important it is to regularly reflect on our lives and to constantly work on getting to know ourselves better. We touched on the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market. I believe in the co-bot future: this is what I represented in this presentation as well.
All three performances shared the experience of how much more we are together.
Let’s pay attention to ourselves, to others, to our environment.
