Sandy Kennedy Darwin is famously misquoted as saying: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” There is no doubt, we are all in times of massive change right now. Be it change in our businesses, our organisations, our world. Our response to Covid has both been an accelerant for change already under way and a catalyst for new thinking and ways of working. The result. A flood of change. There is no going back. We have an important questions to answer. How do, each of us, equip ourselves and others with the skills and mindset not just to survive but thrive amidst all this change? How do we develop Darwin’s adaptability in ourselves and most importantly our young people?
Sandy Kennedy Cape Horn sits at 55.98° S, 67.27° W. This rocky point at the tip of South America so feared by sailors is where two great oceans meet. It’s where the sea floor drops sharply to a depth of four kilometres producing lethal currents. It’s where freezing waters are whipped by winds aptly named the Furious Fifties, and the odd stray iceberg looms into view. Cape Horn lay in wait for Ferdinand Magellan as he neared the tip of South America in October 1520, 500 years ago. The same latitude in the northern hemisphere, 55.98° N, runs through central Scotland, Balloch in the west and Leith Docks in the east.

COATBRIDGE comic book tycoon Mark Millar has revealed he is embarrassed by his wealth and wants to use it to help others rather than splash out on luxuries.
Sandy Kennedy Mistakes, learning, community and thank you. It is a personal business. We stand at the cusp of the year. We look back over our shoulder at a year of great upheaval and peer forward with a mix of hope and fear. As we stand here, take a moment to stop and pause. In that moment, there is both learning from 2020 and opportunity for 2021. Here are four reflections (please rub out and insert your own) 1. It is a community sport. No one does it alone. The myth of the solo entrepreneur battling into the headwinds alone is just that, a myth.
