?? What are humans for in an automating world? ?? Author of 'The Atomic Human' Neil Lawrence joined The Evolving Leader Podcast this week to discuss what it truly means to be human. When we strip away everything AI can do for us, we’re left with the raw, untapped essence of humanity that we need to understand and amplify to make the world better—not worse.

"One of the biggest shifts for leaders is to stop seeing Value Today and Tomorrow as competing forces and instead create a symbiosis between them." In Jean Gomes' recent #MindsetMonthly blog post, he explores the Future-Now Organization, and the changes necessary to foster sustainable growth. The challenge? Shifting away from the comfort zone of focusing 95% on today’s results to embracing the 70-30 model: 70% on delivering value today, 30% on investing in tomorrow’s growth. The real question is: Are you ready to balance both short-term goals and long-term vision? Are you ready to break the cycle of short-termism? Start thinking both/and, not either/or. #Leadership #Strategy #Growth #Innovation #FutureNow #humanevolution

Unlocking the Power of an Open Mindset through Curiosity Last year, Dr. Emily Clements, Emily Lowe and Sara Deschamps came together to discuss and experiment with the concept of Curiosity - asking the question: can curiosity be built? And if so, what could heightened curiosity unlock? As children, we ask hundreds of questions a day. But as adults, we ask far fewer. Why? Over time, we become experts, and with expertise comes comfort—and, often, stagnation. The risk? A world that’s constantly changing and uncertain may leave us behind if we become too comfortable in the "known." The more we age, the more we tend to stop asking questions and exploring the unfamiliar. This "habituated mindset"—comfortable with the status quo and resistant to change—can curb personal growth, stifle innovation, and dampen engagement at work. The bottom line: more curiosity = more innovation. More resilience. More opportunities. Watch the full interview here: https://buff.ly/3PKdtva #CuriosityLab #Resilience #Innovation #MindsetIndex

How is climate change not only affecting our environment but also reshaping our minds, bodies, and sense of well-being? There is a disconnect between our awareness of climate change and the profound, ongoing impact it has on our mental and physical well-being. While much attention has been focused on the environmental and economic consequences of climate change, we are overlooking how it is already altering our minds, bodies, and overall sense of security. The problem is not just the environmental destruction, but how the increasing instability of the world around us—through rising temperatures, natural disasters, and the breakdown of familiar patterns—affects our psychological and physiological responses, such as heightened stress, anxiety, cognitive impairment, and even increased violence. In Jean Gomes's recent #MindsetMonthly article, he discusses the gap between reality and our current mindset—a gap that leads to denial, passivity, and disengagement.

In late November, the Outside team gathered in the vibrant, creative heart of Bristol for an unforgettable year-end retreat. Surrounded by the city's dynamic energy, we ventured through its colorful streets, strolled along the scenic waterfront, and immersed ourselves in the eclectic street art scene. We savored incredible food, unleashed our inner artists in a graffiti workshop set in a former police station, and even threw a few competitive darts at the quirky Left-Handed Giant pub. But more than just adventure and fun, this was a chance for us to slow down, reconnect, recharge, and fuel our creativity together. It was an inspiring and rejuvenating experience that reminded us of the power of connection, exploration, and taking time to simply enjoy the moment. #weareoutside
