“Research is showing us that our mindsets result from the interplay of feeling, thinking and seeing – creating instances of knowing, doubt or uncertainty. This opens new possibilities for us taking more control over our lives and gaining greater psychological freedom in the face of uncertainty. This is not just about understanding an idea and adopting positive thinking. Building a mindset modifies and grows the networks and structures in your brain, and changes the hormones and neurotransmitters you produce. In turn, these impact on your immediate and long-term health, how open you are to new information, the decisions you make, how others see you, and the nature of the relationships you form.    YOUR MINDSET, FOR BETTER OR WORSE, DEFINES YOUR LIFE.”   (extract from Jean Gomes’ book ‘Leading in a Non-Linear World’)

🤖 What are humans for in an automating world? 🤖 Author of 'The Atomic Human' Neil Lawrence joined The Evolving Leader Podcast this week to discuss what it truly means to be human.

Listen to this important and timely conversation today, wherever you get your podcasts. #podcast #weareoutside #morehuman

"One of the biggest shifts for leaders is to stop seeing Value Today and Tomorrow as competing forces and instead create a symbiosis between them." In Jean Gomes' recent #MindsetMonthly blog post, he explores the Future-Now Organization, and the changes necessary to foster sustainable growth. The challenge? Shifting away from the comfort zone of focusing 95% on today’s results to embracing the 70-30 model: 70% on delivering value today, 30% on investing in tomorrow’s growth. The real question is: Are you ready to balance both short-term goals and long-term vision? Are you ready to break the cycle of short-termism? Start thinking both/and, not either/or. #Leadership #Strategy #Growth #Innovation #FutureNow #humanevolution

Unlocking the Power of an Open Mindset through Curiosity Last year, Dr. Emily Clements, Emily Lowe and Sara Deschamps came together to discuss and experiment with the concept of Curiosity - asking the question: can curiosity be built? And if so, what could heightened curiosity unlock? As children, we ask hundreds of questions a day. But as adults, we ask far fewer. Why? Over time, we become experts, and with expertise comes comfort—and, often, stagnation. The risk? A world that’s constantly changing and uncertain may leave us behind if we become too comfortable in the "known." The more we age, the more we tend to stop asking questions and exploring the unfamiliar. This "habituated mindset"—comfortable with the status quo and resistant to change—can curb personal growth, stifle innovation, and dampen engagement at work. The bottom line: more curiosity = more innovation. More resilience. More opportunities. Watch the full interview here: https://buff.ly/3PKdtva #CuriosityLab #Resilience #Innovation #MindsetIndex

How is climate change not only affecting our environment but also reshaping our minds, bodies, and sense of well-being? There is a disconnect between our awareness of climate change and the profound, ongoing impact it has on our mental and physical well-being. While much attention has been focused on the environmental and economic consequences of climate change, we are overlooking how it is already altering our minds, bodies, and overall sense of security. The problem is not just the environmental destruction, but how the increasing instability of the world around us—through rising temperatures, natural disasters, and the breakdown of familiar patterns—affects our psychological and physiological responses, such as heightened stress, anxiety, cognitive impairment, and even increased violence. In Jean Gomes's recent #MindsetMonthly article, he discusses the gap between reality and our current mindset—a gap that leads to denial, passivity, and disengagement.
