In today's episode, we welcome Andrew Burton back as our guest co-host and delve into a thought-provoking question: Why do people often struggle to be proactive and lean towards reactive behaviour?

We explore the allure of immediate problem-solving, the satisfaction it brings, and the time constraints and competing priorities that hinder proactive actions. Throughout our conversation, we emphasised the importance of shifting our mindset to prioritise proactive behaviour and investing upfront to prevent losses in the long run.

We introduce the "Red, Green, and Blue Money" concept to encourage proactive decision-making. By embracing the blue zone and recognising the value of proactive actions, we can shift our perspective and realise that being proactive doesn't always require significant resources or effort.

Throughout the episode, we share practical examples and stories to illustrate the power of being proactive. We discuss the importance of creating a safe space for open communication and the value of small changes in workshop facilitation or team interactions. 

We aim to inspire a proactive mindset that leads to more meaningful outcomes and a greater sense of personal and professional growth.

Thanks for listening!
