Do you know the concept? It says "build the plane while flying it" and while it may sound scary, we have found that it is indeed a very valuable way of going through your projects in life. Not to say that you shouldn't plan and leave all to improvisation, but it doesn't hurt to remind yourself that it is always possible to adapt and adjust as you go!
In this episode of the podcast, we have a guest who is a strong advocate for the "build the plan while flying it" motto: Dr. Alexander Schiller.
Alexander is a chemist by training and now a professional coach and facilitator. He believes in immersive training and in the concept of "touching people's lives" and he shares with us his background, how he learned about immersive training, his background in improvisation theatre and about one of the masters of interactive training: Thiagi.
Our word of the day is "liminality" - and if you don't know what that means, don't worry because we also did not before recording this episode! :-)
Amongst others, we leave you Alexander's tips for your career, which include:
- Learn how to present
- Look for a mentor
- Learn transferrable skills
- Read books, listen to podcasts, use the resources around you to build transferrable skills
- Learn to use the "yes, AND" technique
So sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode full of useful advice for your career and for letting go of constraints and excessive planning.
