285 - Creating Safe Spaces for Conflict, Resilience and Recovery with Scott Winter

As the old adage goes, failing to prepare, is preparing to fail. But how do you prepare for something as catastrophic as a natural disaster?

Scott Winter helps people, teams and organisations to struggle more effectively and step into their greatness.

In this brilliant and vulnerable conversation, he shares his work in co-regulating mindsets, how to make it easy to talk about difficult things, and why with the right tools, every experience can be turned into a learning opportunity.
