Rhys Thomas and Teresa Quinlan are bringing you guests to challenge the status quo. Explode the Status Quo. The only way to DO differently is to THINK differently. And business needs us to think differently, as leaders, so that we can explode through the barriers that keep us stuck.

Sesil invites us into an incredible discussion on:
- Facing challenge and change
- Ability to adapt and grow
- Passion to create safety and love environments
- The polarity of extremes and how this can influence life
- The internal power to create inner safety and love and then transfer that to your interconnectedness with others
- Thriving = mindset despite circumstances
- Mindsets of scarcity, abundance, growth, fixed which sits between the emotion and the thoughts – here is where we shift HOW we show up
- Everything begins and ends with self AND we are also social
- Learning to stand on your own is important than being able to be social as a contributor to the whole
- Corrupt-ness of education; competition and grading and being compared to, leads to workplaces that stack rank and pit each other against one another = scarcity mindset which negatively impacts creativity and resourcefulness and wellbeing
- By virtue of relating and caring we connect and THEN influence
