Here's how you can ready yourself for the future's disruptions and uncertainties.

Change is the only constant! We have heard this statement so many times. And this is the truth! Days, weeks & years keep changing, seasons keep changing and likewise for organisations and leaders leading the organizations, they have to understand that there will always be volatility, uncertainty, ambiguity and complexity all around us and unless we embrace this, prepare ourselves accordingly, we will be left behind. Hence faster the leaders embrace change, faster their teams they lead will also embrace change, adapt to it quickly and move ahead. And wait for the next change!

There are two types of mindsets. A fixed mindset and a growth mindset. Most people fail in that process because most people live a fixed mindset. The fixed mindset is; - this is who I am - this is what I know - this is what I'm capable of - this is what I'm good at and this is where I'm going to stay. The growth mindset says; - this is where I am now - this is what I'm good at now - but if I recognize that if I go through a particular process, I can grow myself and become a better person. Learn to be uncomfortable. You need to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Be in a space where you allow yourself to be challenged but more importantly be in a space where you are willing to be uncomfortable and grow.

Disruptions and uncertainties often bring stress and anxiety. Cultivate mental resilience by practicing mindfulness, developing coping mechanisms, and maintaining a positive outlook. Embrace flexibility and be prepared to pivot when necessary. Explore alternative career paths, side hustles, or entrepreneurial opportunities that align with your values and provide multiple streams of income.

To fuel capacity you must fuel you. Best think we can all do is move your body, hydrate, nourish with good foods, read a pages a day and allow time for silence. Do this everyday and you can weather any storm in life because you are centered mind, body and soul.

This is what I find amazing about LinkedIn. Here, you have access to one billion (!) of the finest minds on Earth. If you are looking to collaborate, just send an invite and ask. But please... Don't try to scam people. Our actions matter, and though it is easy to build a solid following here, it is just as easy to lose them.

Proactive planning is how you can mitigate the unexpected disruptions. Create redundancies among your team members so there isn't a single-point failure if someone is unable to come to work. Ensure everyone knows what the back-up plan is if you lose network connectivity. Get together from time to time to talk through "what if" scenarios to brain storm ideas on how your team would handle unexpected events. By leading proactively, you can instill confidence in your team to effectively manage the unexpected.

I recently had a talk with a lady about doing the tango. With a smile, she said "I really like the tango. It is always the man who leads". I started laughing, and responded "I have tangoed. And the subtlety of the leading that the woman does - that is a joy to behold!" The essence of agility in my experience. Leading without force, only by subtle nudges. Two moving as one organism. Both focused on following the beat.

The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances is invaluable. Develop an agile mindset by practicing decision-making under pressure, being open to feedback, and embracing change as an opportunity for growth. Regularly assess your strengths, weaknesses, and goals, and be willing to pivot or redefine your path when necessary.

Technology is a driving force behind many disruptions, and staying up-to-date with emerging technologies is essential. Develop digital literacy skills, such as coding, data analysis, and digital marketing. Understand how technologies like artificial intelligence, automation, and the internet of things (IoT) are shaping various industries, and explore ways to leverage them for personal and professional growth.
