We cannot ignore that we are facing Western collapse. Political systems, global supply chains, Western business as usual, and what we thought was 'normal' and 'secure,' is all unfolding before our eyes. This does not need to be a bad thing. Indeed maybe this is what we have been missing for far too long as Western systems of imperialism, hegemony and toxic capitalism have held us ALL captive, whilst harming those far from our shores? Is this a unique opportunity to reimagine who and what we are in the world? Is this an opportunity to radically reinvent or even remember what business and community looks and feels like? With a blank slate and mind, what do you want to do and feel next? Join me in this personal, reflective, yet expansive solo podcast, which may have guests on occasion, as I invite you to expand possibility within yourself and the work that you at this time of collapse. We are the seeds of the future. <br/><br/><a href="https://possibilityexpander.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">possibilityexpander.substack.com</a>

<p>Hi there,</p><p>A really beautiful conversation happened recently which modelled, I feel, how we can tackle the thorniest issues of our times, without being pulled into binary, ideological divisions.</p><p>Listening.</p><p>Care.</p><p>Curiosity.</p><p>Connection.</p><p>I have not always been great at holding all four of these elements together, especially in more heated scenarios, but to meaningfully embed change that works for all, <strong>we HAVE to be able to get uncomfortable, but within safe spaces of intentional design.</strong></p><p><p>Where do those spaces exist for you today, at home, and in work?</p></p><p><p>Where do they exist in our communities today?</p></p><p>I ran an experiment with two peers, one white woman and a Muslim peer, to co-create a space that would allow for colleagues of different background and perspectives to connect, listen, and learn together.</p><p>The topic was a challenging one - The Israel-Gaza war. Just seeing these words and hearing them in your mind as you read this may trigger different reactions, beliefs, stories, and feelings. They are all valid, and must all be allowed to be felt, and distilled/discerned.</p><p>Yet the outcome of this 3-hour experiment was really profound. </p><p>* New insights.</p><p>* More understanding.</p><p>* Clarity around what was really happening beyond the noise.</p><p>I think about my good friend <a target="_blank" href="https://brave-leadership.com/">Kimberly Davis and her amazing work with Brave Leadership</a> in these moments.</p><p><strong>We are far ALL more powerful than we know.</strong></p><p>From the <strong>INSIDE-OUT.</strong></p><p>YOU are more powerful and have far more agency than you realise.</p><p>Time to reclaim and remember that power.</p><p>Have a good weekend friends, sending you ALL peace and love.</p><p></p><p>Hi, I’m Garry.</p><p>I am a VP of Business Development for three companies spanning differing evolutionary states: start-up, scale-up, and a multinational corporation, the integration of which adds value to them all at the intersections of international sales, leadership, culture, and organisational design.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.worldblu.com">www.WorldBlu.com</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.thepathfindercompany.com">www.thepathfindercompany.com</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p><p>I am also founder, curator, and business developer at Radicality.co.uk, an ecosystem of transformative service providers.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.radicality.co.uk">www.Radicality.co.uk</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p><p>Meaningful, trustworthy, human relationships are the foundation of everything, especially as technical advancement continues to accelerate.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Expanding Possibility within Ourselves and Industry at <a href="https://possibilityexpander.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">possibilityexpander.substack.com/subscribe</a>
