Peeling back the leadership layers
What do you care about most deeply? That’s a question Nina Simons has asked and answered of herself and the leaders and organisations she works with. A passionate believer in the interconnectedness of life, Nina’s background spans art, nature and science with a whole of system approach to leadership thinking.
Motivated by protecting the future of the planet, Nina is an advocate for self-responsibility and respecting the experiences and perspectives of others to forge greater understanding. She explains how we can do this on an individual, team, organisation and societal level and it starts with being willing to listen and learn, while taking a not-too-critical look in the mirror. If we are the system, then we can change the system.
