Abstract

Change usually happens because of something that occurs outside an individual; however, one can also change from the inside, when new and challenging creative horizons appear. This session will present the "two sides" of the change journey by focusing on two individuals who regularly take "change journeys" as part of their professional lives. Using a piano to accompany his talk, Michael will offer his thoughts about the unfinished journey that everyone faces who tries to define what's unique and special about himself or herself -- and therefore, what they bring to work and to relationships. Using anecdotes and color photographs from his multiple experiences as a competitor in the original extreme racing adventure, Raid Gauloises, Martin will summarize what he has learned from traversing the jungles of Borneo, the ancient Zulu battlegrounds of Lesotho, and several other outback landscapes. He will focus especially on the impact of such challenges on personal work and teamwork. The two presenters will answer questions and expand their comments via aud
