21: Learning with Elephants: Eco-Leadership in Practice with Trevor Hough

This conversation draws on Trevor's experience and passion of
living in the Kruger National Park South Africa.  Trevor
brings his coaching and therapeutic background to inform his
consultancy and coaching at work.  Unusually he brings a
particular edge to this organisational work that comes from his
engagement with the natural world.  Trevor recently
completed his 'tracker training" and shares how his experiences
of vulnerability when confronting an angry bull elephant, can be
translated to how we can use our vulnerability at work. Central
to his thinking is what he has learnt in the bush about
'Situational Awareness', and how this insight is essential to the
work of organisational coaches and leaders, if we are to lead
system-change effectively.
