Start Right Where You Are

What happens when the person who teaches others how tonavigate change has no roadmap for her own? In 2025, Adrienne Gibson, a keynote speaker and organizational consultant with more than two decades of experience,faced a health crisis, a paused business, and a dismantled home simultaneously.This conversation is about what she found when the external scaffolding fell.

Adrienne and Sabine explore the concept of skills as savings,the idea that every hard season deposits something you can draw on later. The discussion will explain why most organizational change programs fail to engage the humanelement, how Eastern and Western cultures approach transformation very differently, and why apparent speed in change programs is often not actual speed. And Adrienne shares, with unusual honesty, exactly what she did to keepmoving: walking, sound frequencies, box breathing, journaling, and allowing herself a pity party, and then getting back up.

This episode is for anyone who is in the middle of somethinguncertain, and for any leader trying to understand why their change program is not landing the way they expected. Link in bio.
