EP66. "Life is still waiting for us” — Leadership Expert Margaret Wheatley on How to Cope with Societal Collapse #bookfriends #authentic leadership

I interview Dr. Margaret Wheatley, internationally renowned leadership thinker and author of Who Do We Choose to Be?, about how we find a way forward in uncertain times. We discuss meaningful work, genuine contribution, leadership, community, creating "islands of sanity," synchronicity, purpose, and why the most important question may not be "How do we change the world?" but "Who needs me right now?"TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction01:18 Finding Your Calling & Purpose03:45 Viktor Frankl, Meaning & Discovering Your Gifts06:00 Synchronicity, Intuition & Feeling Guided09:00 Loneliness, Individualism & Why Community Heals12:00 Joy, Community & the Antidote to Despair14:00 "Who Needs Me Right Now?"
