Conversations On Conscious Change: Recent Episodes
Jennifer Randive
Change Is Constant! In every area of Life and Living We all know that. Be it Work, Relationships, Career, or Business. Nothing is Status Quo. No one is wrong or right in any of these situations, however, our approach and attitude create a catalysing effect on the outcome.
What we are going to be talking about here is, can we Truly Change and Transform our way of Being Our Way Of Thinking, Our Way of Looking at things What we thought as not Possible, is it Actually Possible, Are we the Possibility that Changes Everything when we are Aware Consciously?
"Change is Constant! Changing, However, Change is A Personal Choice" ~ Jennifer Randive The Maverick CEO
Who am I? And why would you like to listen to me or my guests?
I personally have been through so much change and transformation and continue to do so. With every challenge or change I have experienced, I came out greater stronger and more aware.
Being extremely curious by nature, I have been in the habit of asking questions, and I used that curiosity in the work I did for over 25 years and still do today. I was an executive search and selection consultant a headhunter. That was my business.
My business then took a turn and from being a search and selection consultant, I chose to be a Change and Transformational Consultant. That Change I experienced in 2012.
Change has hit the whole world so how are we coping with it?
We are not just business people, we are first PEOPLE, we all go through all kinds of Change, yet some of us choose to refuse to get to the bottom of what is causing us to be stuck and this could be in any area of your life and living.
The purpose of this Podcast is to Awaken Awareness and to really get off the Hamster Wheel We Have Been On that we have called our life.
Stop, Listen, And Choose To Be Inpired to be A Grander Version Of YOU!
I invite you to start with you, Without you no one else can get you.
Time for Change Is Here And Now, Might As Well Be Consciously Aware About It.
Look forward to having to you tuning in on my show! What Inspiration Innovation can Contribution can we be for each other...

What does the future of leadership look like?
Is there a willingness to question what's not working?
What are some of the different approaches one can consider?
What needs to change?
I invited Paul McCarthy The Chief Fired Officer of discuss what FIRED Leadership was all about. Having been fired from four jobs, I was curious to find out what actually transpired for him to be hired and then get fired, that too four times over.
What unfolded was that he was FIRED FOR WHAT HE WAS HIRED TO DO! Didn't make any sense so we did a deep dive on the topic.
- Was Paul, not capable for the job?
- Was he not liked by the people in the company?
- Was he totally unsuited for the role?
But then would that be the reason for him getting fired with all 4 organizations???
Well, that's the strange part, after 6 to 9 lengthy interview processes he was found the perfect match for the four companies that appointed him. He was appointed to challenge status quo, the prevailing methods were not bringing about the desired results for the companies that appointed him. His role was to disrupt status quo, to help the organizations break away from the mundane way of conducting business, he was to come up with something innovative creative that would make the organization grow and do much better, He then gets fired for it.
What did Paul learn through these several firings,
- Did he go why me?
- Did he wallow in self pity?
- Did he doubt himself?
Well None of the above, instead he made it his mission to delve deeper to find out what made organizations hire to challenge status quo and then fire people. Paul has started something of a movement called FIRED LEADERSHIP and in this interview he shares what FIRED ACTUALLY STANDS FOR.
In his words and I agree, if any organization has to progress, it has to be open to Challenging Status Quo, after all, it is when you allow for that, can any organization truly grow.
The question though is;
- Are Organizations Willing to Challenge and or Disrupt Status Quo?
- Is the Leadership within the organizations willing to do so?
- Do they allow for these kinds of conversations.
The future of the workplace depends on innovation, creation and engaging everyone to participate that can only happen when the objective of the organization is greater than any hidden agendas or personal biases that come in the way of the progress of any Organization.
This is what you will get to hear about.
- Is it easy to transition Industries as a marketeer?
- What is a Marketing Advocate?
- Can we be Customer Advocates? What? How does that even work
- George the curious monkey
- Do you wait for disaster to hit and then change the way you approach things?
- Tips on what NOT to do
- Tips on what TO DO
And what if our approach when tweaked can give us a sneak preview of different ways to excel.
