Mastering the Art of Adaptability: A Discussion with Dr. Carrie Johansson Episode 1

The Agile Within

Ever found yourself trapped in the waterfall of traditional team dynamics, yearning for the agility of mountain goats? Dr. Carrie Johansson, a seasoned psychologist, guides us on a transformative hike from these rigid systems to the peak of adaptability. Drawing from her own experiences trekking through the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains, she opens up about the pivotal role of psychological flexibility in making this transition. Be ready for an insightful journey into the mindscape of your team, where the terrain changes from predictable to agile.
Open your minds as we dissect the psychological flexibility formula and the wonders it can achieve. With Dr. Carrie, we explore the importance of being grounded in the present, critically assessing our situation, and making the optimal next move. This isn't just about making a leap; it's about understanding the ledge you're standing on. We delve into the depths of clear communication, unmasking its potential to navigate tricky talks and foster healthy team dynamics.
And that's not all. Dr. Carrie takes us on a tour of our own brains - explaining the roles of the prefrontal cortex, the mammal brain, and the back brain, and their collective power in helping us reach our full potential. We delve into metacognition and how understanding our thought processes can lead to better decision-making. We also tackle the challenges of agile implementation, moving beyond the victim mentality, and creating a psychologically safe environment. So, pack your gear and tune in as we unravel the path to psychological agility with Dr. Carrie Johansson.
