🎧 Tune in for Enneagram insights that redefine modern leadership and personal growth.

The world is shifting fast, and traditional leadership strategies aren’t built for this level of complexity. In Part 1, we explored how change follows cycles and how leaders can find stability in uncertainty. In Part 2 of The Future of Flourishing, Renelle and futurist Cecily Sommers explore why leaders must evolve alongside their strategies to successfully navigate uncertainty.

The conversation connects inner leadership growth with external strategic adaptation, highlighting why leadership today requires change fluency—the ability to track patterns, anticipate shifts, and lead with confidence. Cecily introduces the four forces shaping all societal change—Resources, Technology, Demographics, and Governance—and explains how leaders can use these forces to craft adaptive strategies that align with the realities of a changing world.

• Leaders cannot separate their own evolution from their organization’s strategy—they must grow together.

• Change fluency is essential—leaders must continuously track external shifts while developing internal adaptability.

• The most effective strategies today are adaptive, iterative, and rooted in a leader’s ability to sense and respond.

• Organizations that do not integrate change literacy into their strategy will find themselves constantly disrupted by external forces.
