Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Make Change Happen with Dr Aidan Harney Valerie Yeo Jules Siegal-Hawley - OrgDev Live Conference
Q: What do you think? Why is meaningful change so uncomfortable for organizations and the people in them?
The panelists explain that all change is emotionally charged because it involves potential loss of status, identity, and established ways of working; understanding how people make meaning and providing a pathway that acknowledges those perspectives helps ease the discomfort.
Complexity - Leading Change in an Uncertain World with Dr Jean Boulton - OrgDev Live Conference
Q: What is the role of reflexivity in leading change?
Reflexivity involves paying attention to how people are feeling, sensing the connections, and embedding practices (like quiet moments and open dialogue) that heighten awareness and embodied understanding among teams.
Complexity - Leading Change in an Uncertain World with Dr Jean Boulton - OrgDev Live Conference
Q: How should leaders respond when faced with unpredictable change?
Lead with humility, pilot multiple approaches, create a learning culture, and use short feedback loops to adapt; recognize you cannot plan for every outcome but you can create conditions for emergence to unfold.
Complexity - Leading Change in an Uncertain World with Dr Jean Boulton - OrgDev Live Conference
Q: What do we actually mean by complexity in organisations?
Complexity refers to open systems with interwoven relationships and patterns that can't be fully predicted; it's about sensing diversity, reflexivity, and the capacity for adaptation rather than trying to control every variable.
Time to Think and the Power of the Thinking Environment with Maryse Barak
Q: Why is the coach's presence so critical in this model?
The coach's presence signals that the thinker's perspective is valued and trusted; by holding space and asking clean, open questions, the coach helps clients access deeper thinking and reveal their own solutions rather than providing answers.
