But first, we explore why we get stuck every once in a while in our life and what the best tactics are to get unstuck again and prepare ourselves for breakthroughs. Adam has done extensive research about this topic and has uncovered valuable insights to get unstuck and be successful in the transformations we want to make. - We elaborated on the state of being stuck, what it origins can be and how to proactively avoid it. - We discussed concrete tactics and mindsets to get ahead, create breakthroughs and get unstuck. - And also we talked about how we as leaders in business, as parents or otherwise caring human beings can be helpful for others who are stuck. *** Sparkr is an angency for change makers and supports them with strategy, innovation and project management competencies.
