you know, going back to reputation capital, there's never been a more critical time to reflect on that and work on that because that identity is going to see you through any further volatility and uncertainty that we're going to face and it's going to be the foundation of how you work.
On the issue of how we get comfortable with that, I think that this is, there's only one way, and that is by embracing those principles around an adaptive mindset.
I just don't, we can't adapt to change if we don't see it coming.
So, you know, we've seen increasing references to terms like, you know, EQ and IQ, but now we're shifting to the adaptability quotient, the AQ.
And there are three, this is great for everyone listening, if you want to,
really know how to accelerate an adaptable mindset, these are three sort of perspectives that I think we can draw on.
Engage, activate and release.
And when I say engage, I mean this is simply about having a curious mindset to your industry and this is being alert to the signals of change.
Activate is about activating our energy around having optimism for change.
This is about seeing change as a great thing, which it always is, but we don't necessarily think about that
in the moment and thirdly release is about letting go of anything that's holding you back i might just give you an example of what i mean by this um because it happened to me and this was part of the catalyst for me writing this book um in about 2008 i was walking i was a journalist i was walking to the al jazeera bureau on k street in washington dc and for the first time in years
I did not buy a copy of the New York Times.
I looked at the New York Times on my mobile and it took me about 100 metres to figure it out because it was only 100 metres between that newsstand and the Bureau.
I got up to the Bureau and I decided to leave journalism because I could see that the business model of news was failing really fast and that I was already working 12-hour shifts on
for less than $300 a day.
And I knew that I couldn't physically sustain that if it was going to get harder.
And so I made the decision then to step out of television journalism and step into the human rights arena, which is essentially still storytelling.
So that common thread for me has been consistent through my career.
But when I mentioned to my friends, look, I'm going to make a transition.
I'm going to move into international aid work.
