There is only one constant: Change

The world changes all the time. And in this world that changes, you must also be able to adapt, continuously.

But you can also be an actor in this ecosystem. Through your voice, your craft, the projects you realize, and your capacity for entrepreneurship. Whether in a company or through a social project, you have the capacity to act.

Today, we call some of this influence. For me, it is the capacity to carry your voice beyond sound waves. What you express can reach people online, on social networks, and through what you create. Your voice and your work can change something in someone else’s world.

Adapting takes practice. You train yourself by facing situations you have never experienced, going to unfamiliar places, meeting people you have never met, and encountering different personalities and cultures. These encounters can shake your beliefs.

Each individual lives in a social ecosystem with its own rules, habits, and customs. When you change countries and cultures, you discover how varied the world is, how different it is, and how rich it is. You also discover that some beliefs you took for granted no longer hold when people think and live differently.

This has helped me a lot. I worked in Italy and Senegal. I lived and worked in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Australia, where I spent almost four years. I also spent five weeks in Japan. These experiences showed me how diverse cultures are, and how unique each individual is.

You practice adaptation at work too. You adapt to your hierarchy, to the strategic direction of your company, and to your colleagues. As a manager, you also adapt to what happens in the lives of the people you are responsible for, so they can do their work in the best possible conditions. This requires awareness of people and group dynamics.

And you must listen to the larger movements that will affect you, including geopolitics.

The Covid period showed us how a major event can change our environment with very little under our control. We each had a role to play, within our own perimeter, for ourselves, our families, and the people around us. We had to navigate uncertainty as the surrounding conditions and rules changed.

Keep this in mind: change is perpetual. Train your capacity to adapt. And remember that you can also act within this ecosystem, through what you say, what you build, and what you do.

Nature is always right

Simple is Natural

Nature is a very complex system of systems yet relies upon very simple unitary mechanisms

If your solution or practice is simple and feels natural, there are 99% chances it is the most appropriate one.

Yannick HUCHARD

Frustration is Fuel

Your frustration is a message from your inner self telling you something important, about yourself, the situation, expectations, and results.

Consider frustration as a fuel for change, a combustible that needs to burn to give you the energy to do something different, or differently.

Yannick HUCHARD

Twice Bend Trust

In human relationships, two consecutive mistakes in a relatively short period of time shackle trust. And if you repeat it multiple times, you will be categorized. This is how most brains work.

Changing category takes a lot of (trust) energy and proof.

Yannick HUCHARD

Assume nothing

Keep the researcher’s mind. Assume nothing at first, especially if you are knowledgeable.

Gather knowledge, ask questions, think, design, plan, then act.

This way of thinking will give you assurance and peace of mind.

Awareness leads to wisdom

Awareness leads to wisdom with practice and curiosity, which finally brings new awareness

Yannick HUCHARD

What you ask and the way you ask is what you get

Be clear about what you ask, and be sure about what people understood of your request. Otherwise, you will get something else and may reach the zone of disappointment.

Yannick HUCHARD

Ignorance will be either filled with knowledge or nonsense

If you have yet gained the intelligence to understand something, ignorance will create all sorts of things in your head, including bias, misleading ideas, imaginary facts, and beliefs.

Choose your path or the path will be chosen for you.

Narrow the ignorance and meet the truth using neutral observation, data collection, challenged analysis, impartial deduction, and conceded confirmation

Remember the Future

Once you have established a Vision, for yourself, your product, your company, your nation, it becomes solid, tangible, real. And it is from this palpable reality, sitting in the future, that attaching so many details will give you an edge, as you can articulate this future precisely. Your job, as a visionary leader, is to build the bridge, with your people, to get there.

Indeed, you are confident, and people will follow your lead because you have already “been there”, because you “remember the future”.

Yannick HUCHARD

Build it as you would sell it

Construct “consumer-ready” products & solutions using a combination of vision, design, skills, and method

Yannick HUCHARD

Presentation is 50% of your communication

The most important is the impression you will make, could it be a visual presentation, about the thing you write, shoot, draw, or craft.

Yannick HUCHARD

Meet with achievements

Should you or your team members have to achieve an activity or produce a deliverable, set a meeting to review the achievement together.

This habit works backward:
a) if you can meet to review an achievement it means it has been completed by the settled date.
b) Then, if it was completed then it means the achiever had a plan of action to realize the achievement.
c) Finally, if there was a plan, it means there were an agreed set of objectives that have been analyzed to reach an agreement.

Yannick HUCHARD

And is Greater than Or – ^ > v

Read And is Greater than Or

Yannick HUCHARD

Proximity improves productivity

Have people work together either from a location point of view or from a virtual communication point of view.

Timely communication moments drastically improve human bonds, the quantity/quality of the production, and the culture of your organization.

Yannick HUCHARD

Carry the world if you can handle it

If you can visualize and handle your own destiny, do it

Yannick HUCHARD

Give, expect none

We all have something to give or to share. And if you want something good to happen in your world, just give an invaluable piece of you (experience, wisdom, help, work).

Remember: the law of equivalence works for you.

Then do it.
