How to Thrive in Constant Change

In episode 616, I chat with April Rinnie about thriving in a constantly changing world.
 
Humans really struggle with change; especially change we did not choose. We resist it, we fear it, and we mistakenly believe we can control it. At a time when change feels relentless and too often beyond our control, find out how to make surfing the waves of change much more manageable (and maybe even fun) using her 8 Flus Superpower principles.
 
April Rinne is a “change navigator,” speaker, investor, and adventurer whose work and travels in more than 100 countries have given her a front-row seat to a world in flux. She is one of the 50 leading female futurists in the world, a Harvard Law School graduate, a Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum, and a Fulbright Scholar. April is a trusted advisor to well-known startups and companies, financial institutions, nonprofits, think tanks, and governments worldwide. Earlier in life she was a global development executive, an international microfinance lawyer, and a hiking guide. She spent nearly four years traveling solo (with a backpack and a shoestring budget) to better understand how to help shape a more inclusive, equitable world. As a certified yoga teacher, she can often be found upside-down, doing handstands around the world.
