Deliberate Calm with Carlene Blanding

Episode notes

In this episode of our podcast, ⁠⁠Leaders in the Arena⁠⁠, hear from Carlene Blanding (VP of Human Resources / Integrated Supply Chain at Shaw®) as we discuss Deliberate Calm: How to Learn and Lead in a Volatile World by Jacqueline Brassey, Aaron De Smet, & Michiel Kruyt. In 2024, Deliberate Calm is the essential guidebook for leadership. With the rapidly-increasing pace of change in organizations, leaders may have to navigate outside of their comfort zone. However, adaptation can be difficult - and our immediate response is to revert back to what we know. Dubbed the "adaptability paradox", leaders must proactively address their gut instinct, and stay ahead of the curve. Deliberate Calm is a unique combination of psychology, neuroscience, and consciousness practices brought together by the authors - whom bring over five decades of combined experience working alongside leaders around the globe. By learning, understanding, and executing the concept of "Dual Awareness," leadership can realize their full potential to respond with intention amid uncertainty, complexity, and change.
