Introducing Liz Skelton

What's your default reaction to conflict?

I've been having lots of conversations this year with people who are trying to shift how their organization works with the people they serve and the ‘emotional rollercoaster’ is often mentioned. People who are in the dream jobs are feeling disillusioned and constrained by the conditions around them.

If that sounds like you, then this episode is going to be hugely helpful.

The conversation today is with Liz Skelton who has a wealth of experience, helping different groups of people across all sorts of backgrounds to make social and cultural change together. She is the co-founder, director and now the chair of Collaboration for Impact in Australia, which tries to help communities work on the root causes of problems rather than the symptoms.

In this episode Liz helps us to reframe the challenge of working within an organization that you feel is constraining you. She encourages us us to shift our dialogue from ‘my organization is constraining me’ to ‘shifting beliefs and perspectives IS the work’…

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

  • That building the muscles to sit with constant discomfort, will enable our systems to be uncomfortable enough to change.
  • How we need to be optimistic about the future, but also ruthlessly real about what it will take to get there.
  • The benefit of preparing for the point of resistance rather than viewing it as a failure when you reach it.
