​In an era of disruption and uncertainty, many leaders feel events are happening to them. When this story takes hold, organisations can drift into autopilot. 

​In our latest livestream, cognitive psychologist and bestselling author Scott Barry Kaufman will join Adam Penny and Claudia Biçen from The Beautiful Truth for a conversation about what it really takes to lead when the ground is shifting.

​Drawing on Rise AboveTranscend and Wired to Create, we’ll explore how the moments that feel biggest and most uncontrollable – are precisely the moments that unlock creativity, reclaim agency, and reconnect us to what we’re actually trying to build.

Join us to explore:
​Why uncertainty can be a source of awe — not just anxiety
​How to recognise when your organisation has drifted into autopilot
​Scott’s sailboat model, and what it means for leadership under pressure
​How to build teams that create, rather than just respond
​What it looks like to shape a future you can’t yet see
​Scott Barry Kaufman is a cognitive psychologist who is passionate about helping all kinds of minds live a creative, fulfilling, and self-actualised life. Kaufman is among the top 1% most cited scientists in the world for his research on intelligence, creativity and human potential.
