A client spoke recently of ‘getting in control’.
Made me think of the reality and usefulness of control.
Perhaps control is an illusion that doesn’t help in a rapidly changing environment. Reminded me of Patricia Ryan Madsen’s improvisation manifesto (see earlier post).
Think what may be more important is awareness and the courage to respond to whatever comes along. Being in the moment, as it were.
If you’re Wellington based, I recommend Barbara Woods Meisner acting class. She teaches actors to be believable and compelling in any given imaginary situation. You may not want to act, but as a leader it sure helps to be believable and compelling. You’ll learn both with Barbara.
