We talk:
- Why we complicate things
- The definition of a simple message

CEO Jason Lippert recently shared with me this brilliant insight: make culture a critical function for your organization's success, literally.

What do you think when you hear 'strategy'?
McKinsey, Men in Dark Suits, Eggheads, Military Generals.
What if we were able to harness collective intelligence more effectively? What if strategy looked more democratic?
What about a open source library of SubStrategies for commonly recurring situations faced by companies and society at large?

This week's guest on Being Human is intuitive healer, mentor and life teacher Fiona Arrigo.
What I found so compelling about Fiona is her profound belief that we can heal ourselves. With so many of us right now - including me sometimes - seeking external sources for our wellbeing, she's part of a growing movement of people rediscovering their innate healing potential.
On this basis, she has developed her healing method The Arrigo Programme, where she offers a multi-layered approach to anything from anxiety and depression to relationship issues, chronic pain, or simply a feeling of losing our way.
We talk:
- What it means to be human
- Working on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels
- How surviving a severe car crash became a spiritual awakening
- How there is no blueprint
- Owning "I don't know"
