Delightful Dissent - Ep. 13 - Feeling ambivalent is a sign of trouble?
With Patricia von Papstein
Recorded live at 05:00 PM on Monday 08 February 2021
The best leaders are completely certain about their vision. If you’re not 100% sure then something is wrong. Conflicting feelings and paradoxical thoughts prevent us from succeeding. But what if clinging to directness confuses instead of clarifies? What is stopping us from enjoying our incongruity?
In this episode my guest is Patricia von Papstein. We’ll be exploring the assumption that “feeling ambivalent is a sign of trouble”. We'll look at how we can decipher and play with mixed emotions. We'll explore their role as a subtle driver of innovation and change. We’ll see if it’s possible to resolve emotional discord and play a different tune.
