Edge Moments Interview With Rachael Robertson

Rachael Robertson was just the second female to lead an Australian Antarctic Expedition to Davis Station. 12 months on the ice, through months of darkness, with no way in, and no way out.

In this interview hosted by Gary Ryan from Organisations That Matter, Rachael shares how she lead and inspired her expedition team through close attention to "Edge Moments".

You will learn:
• What inspirational leaders do - and it's probably not what you think;
• What Edge Moments are and why they are critical;
• How great leaders use these moments to build momentum;
• Three memorable techniques to create and leverage edge moments; and
• A four step process to ensure your interactions become memorable, inspirational edge moments.

Do The Right Thing - Even If You're Doing It Wrong!

The following quote comes from one of my heroes Russell Ackoff, Professor Emeritus of the Wharton Business School. Among the many reasons why I like Russell so much, none the least was that he wasn't afraid to make up words! "Doing the right thing wrong is better than doing the wrong thing right. If you do the wrong thing right you just get wronger and wronger and take yourself further away from wherever you want to be." I don't believe that I need to add much more to Russell's statement,…See More

The proverbial phrase “He who hesitates is lost” is often taken to mean that when we know what we need to do to solve a problem, we should act immediately, or our window of opportunity is likely to pass. More than 50% of my work is helping people to do what you know you should.Why do we hesitate to do what we know we should?“To know and not to do is really not to know.”attributed to Stephen R. Covey in some circles and simply as Zen wisdom in other places.I believe the key reason we fail to do…See More
