In a constantly changing and uncertain world, balance has left the building. Without certainty, we feel that we don’t know anything anymore, and feelings of competence, confidence, and of being in control, disappear. To regain calm and confidence while we navigate complicated lives, we must be ready for anything. Bobbie LaPorte, is Founder and CEO of Bobbie LaPorte & Associates, a Bay Area consulting firm providing leadership and organizational development services to Fortune 500 companies, global organizations and promising start-ups. Before founding her consultancy, Ms. LaPorte served in CEO, COO and CMO roles in several Fortune 50 companies and also led two healthcare technology start-ups.
She has an MBA from Harvard, and a Master’s in Positive Leadership and Strategy from IE in Madrid. Her current focus is on helping leaders and organizations manage through change and uncertainty. Drawing on positive psychology, neuroscience and behavioral science, she provides a practical approach to building the confidence and personal resilience leaders need to be ready for anything. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I'm always intrigued when people talk about the pandemic being the biggest challenge in our modern history etc, like if we're really going to talk about turning negatives into positives why don't we talk about how we were able to overcome the challenges of the pandemic through all these wonderful advancements in technology?

I instantly felt some defensiveness when Bobbie opened up with how this is the most challenging time in modern history and that we wake up each day where there's no certainty, no control... But I feel like every day I am reminded of how lucky I am to have the struggles that I do and to have access to help. We make a choice each and every day of how we respond to the world around us and we have absolute control of that response. .. And Now that I've finished her talk I realise that's what she was getting at. Marvelous!

Some of the most amazing stuff happens when you're outside your comfort zone! Especially if you have this kind of mindset.

Thanks Bobbie for me the take home message is to embrace uncertainty and not let it derail all your motivation to achieve the task at hand

It is definitely an uncertain time; and we need to realize that Covid-19 is not just an event, but a recurring disruption to which we will all need to adjust

This is also why it's so important to seek interactions and stimulation from lots of different people! You never know when someone will share something with you that completely changes your perspective and brings you back to the present.

I've always believed there is no "end goal" in life. There is no happy ever after, there is no point in life where you feel like you've made it. However, if you can see the lessons, if you can make sense of your pain and grow from it, that's where all the satisfaction comes from. I really loved this talk. I hope more people begin to take hold of this perspective.

Agreed. Life isn't a book or a movie with a plot twist then a happy ending. It is the journey that makes life.

The part about being adaptable and flexible definitely struck me. I used to be so set and determined in terms of thinking that my confidence in what I knew was something helpful when navigating unexpected situations but being able to change your opinions and actions really is incredibly beneficial.
