Audio • 41 minutes

Learning Objectives

  1. Apply the principles of visionary pragmatism and sceptical optimism to balance ambition with realistic planning during transformation.

  3. Recognise the value of persistent humour in sustaining team energy, connection and wellbeing during challenging periods.

Lesson Description

This podcast-style audio lesson concludes the Unlocking Your Change Agency series by introducing four complementary mindsets that support effective navigation of change: visionary pragmatism, sceptical optimism, belligerent humility and persistent humour. Business change expert Ket Patel explains how these behaviours work together and demonstrates how these mindsets apply equally to large-scale transformation programmes and personal life transitions. You will gain insight into why big changes rarely follow a straight path, how to give and receive feedback without defensiveness, and why creating space for play and connection prevents burnout.
