Episode Synopsis

In this week’s Sustain Talks I am talking to Jonathan Bowring. Jonathan is the Director and principal of Riversight Ltd. Jonathan leverages his 25-year career in the technology and language industries to mentor and coach business leaders.  We are all pre-conditioned to follow tribal instincts and gravitate to people just like us. But the things that worked for us as cavemen no longer work in the modern world. Our lives are all richer by becoming open to new people and new ideas, relishing in the diversity of thinking from people with different backgrounds, cultures, and ideas.    In this sustain talks we look at how we can think differently and how we can get the best from our teams.
