What would work look like without disrupters? Perhaps that idea fills you peace and joy, or perhaps the idea bores you.
The truth is, without disrupters - the ones who question, challenge, and push back - our organisations, and indeed our world, would grind to a halt. It would stagnate, falling back into a comfortable status quo where nothing ever changes and innovations is discouraged, rather than encouraged.
So we need disrupters.
But how do we disrupt in a way that is respectful and appropriate? How do we make space for, encourage, and empower disrupters in our teams? This is the topic for this episode, so listen in to learn how disagree agreeably.
What sort of person are you?
What sort of person do you wish you were?
What sort of person do you hope to become?
If an alien from outer space was to look at your life, what would they see? What would you want them to see?
It is impossible to answer any of these questions, at least not accurately, without taking a serious, careful, objective look at yourself. This might be a humbling, uncomfortable experience, but remember that 'facts are friends' and it is much better to have an accurate idea of who you are in order to figure out how to become the sort of person you would like to become.
In this episode, Brian and Aaron talk about conducting personal audits, asking questions of the self to figure where we are at and what chapter we are currently in.
Things to think about this week:
- Question whether or not you allow disrupters in your life or workplace.
- Question whether or not you are willing to step into that position yourself?
- Practice viewing challenge as a good thing.
- Give people the right to disagree as we seek consensus.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
