Deliberate Calm – How to Learn and Lead in a Volatile World by Jacqueline Brassey, Aaron de Smet and Michiel Kruyt
‘As the world becomes increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous, we are finding ourselves in the Adaptive Zone more and more frequently, facing new, never-before-seen challenges without an established toolkit to rely on. In this context, continuing to rely on our old playbooks can lead to disastrous results, while taking the opportunity to create new ones can open up space for personal and organisational growth.
This book has been a significant source of inspiration for CALM.
Read this to learn more about:
- why now more than ever it’s so critical for leaders and organisations to be able to adapt to change
- how to respond to this with a learning mindset to deal with fear triggers and resistance
- the role of neuroscience and conscious calm practices to help leaders become more resilient and respond rather than react for 1% CALMer

growth mindset
Recognition of the intrinsic link between productivity and wellbeing needs to sit at the heart of culture and mindset, not simply manifest as a lunchtime yoga session or a website with a helpline number
support team
