Standing still means going nowhere.
Life is filled with transitions from one phase to another - within your career, personal relationships or professional leadership. Sometimes between where you were and where you want to be, there is a blank, neutral space. Join me and a list of inspiring guests as we discuss what it takes to move Beyond Neutral and drive forward to where you want to be.
Inspiration for the Show.
For 30+ years, I have supported corporations and individuals around transitions. New roles, new structures, new initiatives, and new life stages. One of our biggest barriers to a successful transition is not evolving our approach to match the new situation. We get stuck in this middle space by applying our old thinking or behaviors to a new challenge…while expecting a different outcome. Beyond Neutral is about what it takes to think differently so you can realize your desired destination.
