Built For Crisis with Brad Cousins

As we come out of the pandemic things can be over overwhelming. You might be emotionally overloaded and are afraid to decide on what to do next. 

Meet our guest, Brad Cousins who describes himself as someone "built for crisis". He is a specialist in transformational change with over 20 years of experience in private equity and distressed acquisitions. A turnaround global transformation executive, he has built his career on rapid, radical and change with breakthrough growth. 

In today's episode, Brad teaches us how to build ourselves better for crisis and live at the intersection of strategy, people, change management, transportation, transformation, and the biggest part - managing ourselves and our emotions. 

 

Key takeaways:

1. We tend to approach this crisis, and they're triggering our emotions. We're not recognizing that our judgment and our decision-making are impacted by emotional overload. (2:56)
2. So whatever crisis comes today is an opportunity and I think it's a really a mindset shift of looking at every crisis as an opportunity to do something different (4:26)
3. Some people run to the car wreck outside, and some people shy away from it. Some people run to help, and some people get scared. And so part of it is recognizing yourself and your triggers. (5:23)
