Your Year of Wonders: How Changes Around Us Unleash the Growth Instinct Inside Us

Ever wondered why some leaders leave extraordinary legacies of impact and growth…while others leave a trail of emotional exhaustion and mediocre performance?  

External changes — like reorgs and supply chain disruptions to labor shortages and stifling new regulations — trigger an instinctive response in every leader’s brain. The first instinct is the Loss Instinct. It tells leaders to pay 3x more attention to threats than opportunities….which leaves their teams feeling mentally drained, emotionally exhausted, and very often eager to find a new job.

But one of the magical gifts of the highly evolved human brain is that leaders also have a second Instinct — the Growth Instinct. The second instinct tells leaders that “growth is happening” even when it feels like “change is hard.” Leaders who listen to their second instinct energize their teams, grow their businesses, and leave a lasting impact on the people around them while rediscovering the joy of leading.  

From the storefronts to the C-suites — whether you sell software or soft drinks — Nick’s message will elevate the mood of your meeting and transform the mindset of your audience. They’ll discover… 

• How speaking the language of the second instinct can transform this season of change into a Year of Wonders for themselves and their teams. 
• A refreshing new way to reframe their current challenges & reimagine future possibilities. 
• Why feelings of confusion and uncertainty are actually a fantastic sign that you are on the verge of your next big growth spurt–no matter your age or job title.

Whether you want to boost morale, rally your team for a digital transformation, or think more innovatively about this year’s challenges and opportunities, there is no better way to kick off your next meeting than with the Year of Wonders message.
