Tyson Yunkaporta recently published Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World. Timely since companies need a new narrative to shift from exploiting natural and human resources to being a part of the vibrant living system. Oddly the world view and thinking of indigenous traditions are overlooked by business explorers. Tyson starts with a romp through the origins of capitalism, then explores the profound insights inherent to a unifying view. Particularly relevant in the thick of unpredictable conditions.

Threading an organic logic through experience, indigenous thinking unifies and collates perspectives in a true narrative fashion. Dawna’s and Tyson’s conversation riffs on complexity, patience, natural systems and more. You’ll hear what lies at the source of trauma, and the role of authority in uncertainty. Leaders will see the value of using interruptions as nature does, to innovate, move to a higher-order and be better designed for the times. Listen in on our conversation and see what sparks in your mind.
