Ep 13 - Don't CONFORM - Challenge Convention!!

Season 1: Episode 13 - Emanuel's UnLearning Journey  If you're having trouble conforming to 'business as usual' and want to get better at the skill of 'critical thinking' - you'll ♥️ this! When we speak to UnLearners, one thing they often confess is that - They were taught to blend in, instead of stand out and to conform, rather than rock the boat… 😞  It's as if the world is not kind to individuals who challenge the status quo, push back at convention and continue to ask 'why not!?' UnLearners are those who learn, change, grow and challenge the 'norm' because they see untapped potential in themselves, their work environment or the world. The trouble with being an unlearner is that not everyone is ready or receptive to your radical, expansive ideas, suggestions or beliefs… So what's an unconventional, divergent person to do?? Non-Conformist and Group Head of Business Growth & Development at The Blake Group, Emauel Pillay, helps us answer this probing question.
